Default Question about the new 19" wheels and low profile tires

Are you guys seeing more rims getting bent because of the low side walls ? I've seen two street glides lose there front rims from pot holes this year.

It doesn't matter if you are running a 11r-24.5 on the front if the pothole can be seen by google earth satellite view

Low profile might look okay sitting still or in a bike show but for me, they're not for riding across Texas and that's what I have my bike for.
