speed bumps

well im thinking about getting the 15" konig heliums, and yesterday i went to the mall and i was leaving, it was dark and i was going at a good speed when all i fell is a big punch, i had just gone over a speed bump, but i could not see it, should i be worried about the heliums cracking or bending whenever i go over a speed bump and cant see it just feel it

if you pay that little attention when driving, i'd be more concerned about small children and other cars

I wouldn't. If you go with 15" wheel you will be using 50+ series tires... Speed bumps are worst on the shock than in the wheel.
