Driving back home from school today crusing at about 60mph in the right lane and a dam pothole took out my passenger front rim. Funny thing is i try to look out for potholes all day!! couldnt avoid this one, there was a car in my left lane and cars behind me. FTW sucks! Ima take a pic of the pothole tonight.

 

wow thats crazy

 

damn that sucks!!!

 

did you call the police so they can report it n then maybe the city can reimburse you?

 

ya sucks ass i filed a claim and took pics of the potholes. here's a pic

 

Wow WTF...Not even 18's are safe. I was thinking of going 18's I'm invest my money on something else. No matter how careful you are its almost impossible to avoid them if you drive daily.

 

put more air in the tires and blow the tire out before bending the rim, lol

 

I rather bend a rim and not blow a tire at 60MPH. It does help to have them inflated properly though.

 

lol

 

Holy Shit!!!! At least it wasn't a blow out and you could keep control of your car. Are you going to try and fix the rim or just replace it?

 

ya im very happy i didnt lose control but im prolly gonna get another rim from ronjon not only is it bent it is also cracked underneath. sucks! at least i can keep the tire though.

 

The last pothole that I hit on the Deegan forced me to fix a rim and purchase a new tire too

 

that sucks and i felt like my world was over because i accidentally hit a curb and dented the corner of my rim ..could only imagine how you feel .your from n.y there is a place called dun rim repair on boston road you should check it out might be able to get that fixed as opposed to buying a new 1. good luck

 

Gotta watch the road more carefully now more than ever. With an impact like that, the wheel can go, but it's better than a suspension component or tire going. Glad you held air pressure, but don't be surprised of the tire bubble up in that area later.

 

i feel your pain. happened to me on grand central on sunday night. and i just had my rims put on that day Only had the wheels on for 6 hrs, then i had to take it off due to the bend and crack.

 

ouch...that looks like it hurt, that happened to me when I had my 04 tsx with ssr's, had yonkers pay for it though lol...good luck!

 

k thanx will consider

 

wow i wish i can get a refund how did u claim it?

 

Dam bro that sucks!! only 6 hours!! dam NYC

 

Ouchhh its always cus of bloombergg

 

Damn dude that really sucks. Sorry to see that. Gotta wait till at least april to throw them rims on!

 

I know its hard to do but we need to drive slower in order to avoid these craters out there.

 

Yeah I was driving on Route 3 in Jersey, hit a pothole in the pouring rain and completely blew my tire out. 3 flat tires within a month because of potholes!

Thank God Continental has a 1 year manufacturer road hazard warranty that comes with the tires, or else I would've been effed.

 

This winter was real bad on the roads. i normally have my rims back on in march but this year is definately an april year! Dunn on boston road in the bronx can fix it for you quick and inexpensive if you decide to fix it or keep it as a spare. thats where i had rims fixed before.

 

1&9 from Pulaski skyway on the express there is so many patholes that it looks like swiss cheese. I damaged rim on the inside its holding the air but the rim is bent. Two week earlier i blew a tire in same place. Just try to avoid that place its worth to pay and take turnpike. Last year i destroy rim too. I think im going to go back to 17" rims and bigger tire profile

 

Yeah... roads in Jersey... SUCK!

 

damn that sucks man...gl with the city paying for it...they might if you bug them enough...lol
