Fortunately I got away with a cracked rim and call me a bad driver, but to help remediate my fears, I threw on a wider stance along with a drop.

Not to drink the kool-aid but I'm definitely feeling a lot safer with the ride.

Stock rim? Wondering what it takes to crack a rim...Hard bounce or...?

Yahh stock rims and they were actually the 20" ones too. And good question, as I would think the stock ones to be much sturdier than lightweight performance aftermarket rims.

It was a drift into a curb so literally a direct hit at possibly ~45mph :/

But to my surprise, it was just the edge that cracked and the tires were fine too with minor punctures, enough for me to drive about 20 miles before reaching the dealership.

Ugh, a 20 mile drive of shame. Thanks for the cautionary tale as that's likely to be me. Glad it wasn't worse for ya.

I have the non Comp with 21s and it has gotten softer after some miles. However, I still don't get the point of the jarring truck like ride. You can have a vehicle that handles good without being overly stiff. Especially with todays ability to adjust the firmness on the fly. It's even worse from the passenger seat. Have someone drive you around and it's more noticeable if you aren't holding onto a steering wheel.
