Hit a pothole today and crunched my front passenger-side 16 in alum wheel. ARRRG! My beautiful truck[&o]. I'm still able to drive it fine, but there is a huge chunk out of the rim of the wheel. Sob with me.

 

That must have been quite a pothole. What size tires are your unning?

 

Sorry to hear that,any pics?

265/70 16. I was doing about 40-45 and changed lanes. It was in the lane that I was changing into and BAM! No pics as of yet.

 

call the dept of transportation and make a complaint. they will have to reimburse you the insurance claim.its there responsibility to up keep the roads were you live.

 

i would def report this quickly. the same thing happened to a friend of min escept both his passanger side tires and wheels were gone. he filed it after a few weeks and they came back with some BS about the road being fine...cause they had already fixed it in that time. just make sure not to let up on the department of transportation, its their fault.

 

the other thing is take pictures and and write down what street it happened on, just like filling out paper work for an auto accident just to cover your a$$

 

yeah report it soon. I had a friend who hit a pot hole, and it shredded 2 tires and totalled the rims. After filing the city paid for new everything.

 

it wouldnt be a bad idea to go take a picture of the pothole if you know exactly where it was, so they cant say it was fixed by the time of allegid accident

 

Don't you have the wheel/tire protection plan that they try to sell you at the dealer??

I got mine for free (I got the hook up )
