This morning I got off I-5 Fruitridge exit and there was a deep-___ bump hole that did this ____ to my car. I'm hella ____ed off...I was cruising at about 50-60mph...loud-___ thump...i knew my rims were f*cked...here are pics...i'm hella ____ed off!!

Can I repair this?

 

dudeeee that thing is completely FUGGED

 

ownt.

 

Holy ish! That's crazy. I hope everything works out. You might want to take it to a rim and tire shop to see if they can do anything. Oh, and you might want to call the DOT and let them know when and where it happened, and tell them they owe you a rim.

 

a tire shop should be able to pund that right out, but your rim will never be the same again

 

Oh dude...........why did it take 4 photos of that........I nearly vomited............ouch...........I have seen rims fixed before but not sure about that bent..........

 

i'm gonna go see if America's Tire Co can do something about this...how much do you think they'll charge to pound that to normal?

I tried hammering that crap but it's hella hard...it's not budging...

 

they half to heat that up im sure... and i doubt it will be cheap how much per rim did they cost you?

 

oh thats just wrong.

sorry dude.

 

only the front passenger rim was dented...all the other 3 were fine. I didn't buy the rim from them...got the tires from them though.

 

just buy new wheel

 

how much per rim if you had to buy a new one thats what i was asking sorry.

 

dont get it fixed, replace it, even if it gets repaired you still have that spot that will be weak, and the chances of it happening again are more likely, its metal and you can never get metal back to its 100% original stats, i learned that in welding, and if im wrong im gonna kick my teachers ****!

good luck tho! at least its not discontinued,

does it hold air?

 

Dave is right.
Call the state DOT they SHOULD be able to reimburse you for your damages. I know they do that up here. Even if they only wish to cover the repair bill, that's money that wont come out of your pocket.

 

i don't wanna spend another $200+ for a rim...just gonna fix it and drive it till it breaks...

 

How can i get that number...i will call them tomorrow and tell them what happened.

 

nevermind...found the number...will call them tomorrow.

 

Yes you can be it will cost alots of of money...more than the rim is worth... I would just buy a new rim....but if you want est. on cost go to http://www.wheeltechniques.com they will tell you the same thing...

Sorry to tell you piece wheels suck...that why I switched to 3piece Works...

 

You'll probably have to go thru a couple of hurtles but it never hurts to ask, if you do get rewarded claim money if will probably take a week or two, so expect to ride your spare for awhile.


government = slow...

 

Just finished reading California DOT's website. I'm going to file a claim and send it in.
