Question Front tire question

Just noticed today, after practicin slowin down my wheelies, that my front rim is bent in a few places.. I dont think I am coming down that hard. I have a few times but geesh this would suck to have to replace my front rims every month. What rims would you guys say are good for stunting..

FYI -- I have a 98 CBR F3

Your rim should not bend. Your tire may have not had enough air pressure. check it out , see if it helps.

Stock rims are pretty much the strongest rims. Aftermarket ones tend to bend more easily.

check the psi in the tire! there are shops around that can straighten those rims.
