I was driving on the highway doing 60mph all the sudden boom i hit big *** pot hole on the left front tire didn't bend the wheel but my steering wheel is off center
and now when i hit bumps i hear a squeak i am so pissed off

i went through 2 sets or rims in one year because of NYC roads.

Ouch that always hurts. As much as I love NY i don't think I'll ever make it there with this car. To me hitting a pot hole at speed is as bad as cracking a rib

i hate potholes... hairline cracked my front right rim, have to refill every 2-4 days depending on weather... only bad thing is i bought a rim a few years back for this reason, but its 0.5 inches too wide in front and 0.5 inches too thin in back..

first week of owning the e55 i hit a pothole bent my rim and got a bubble and this is on 18`s !!!!!!!!!!

if anyone needs to get rims fixed go to POOR FREDDIES on Merrick BLVD in Jamaica . ASK for Jazz and tell him MIckey Rourke sent you !!!!


He has been fixing my rims for years .

NY and bent rims go together like corn flakes and milk

Laughing!

I'm in NY too, already replaced my two front rims in a year due to potholes! And I'm only on stock 18's as well.

Same crap happen to me on BQE but on 20's!! 1 week later the inside sidewall bubble freaking popped while I was driving......gotta love nyc

That why I picked up 2 sets of wheels so i don't have down time when 1 bends or cracks.

It suck because sometimes you can't even enjoy the ride
Always worried about potholes.

I hit a crater the other day coming back from CT on the Cross Island Expressway. I thought It was scrap but so far its ok.

I just ****ing pissed because I took my car to fix the steering
Thats ok but we looked at the bushings and none seen bad
No play on all of them where is this squeak coming from I hear on the left front The only thing I saw when I put it on the lift was when I yanked the tire up and down not side to side I had a Lil play so maybe the top bushing is bad

Ohio roads suck to. Thats why the car sits in the winter.

+100 on the cornflakes & milk
And Jazz does a damn good job! Y'all can also try Kevin of SL metals out on the island.
NYC pavement doesn't luv U

New York has nothing on L.A. even in Beverly Hills, where you might expect at least decent streets there are literally potholes about a 1ft deep and 1 1/2ft wide all over the place.
Then there is the fact that normal street conditions are either perfectly smooth or like driving in a rock quarry.

5 words for you guys..."WHEEL AND TIRE PROTECTION PACKAGE"

The potholes are really bad right now, this weather has been screwing everything up. The streets by my house are so bad, it's like driving an autocross to avoid them right now.

If anyone needs alignments corrected on Long Island, just give us a call, we will take care of it. Careful out there, it's bad.

You may want to run a little more tire pressure to help prevent bending some wheels.

Let's get one thing straight, it is not just NY but the whole North East that's bad.

OH.... MY.... GOD...

Do not cross the Whitestone bridge at all... its like driving on the moon. After yelling *** about 20 times a quarter the way over the bridge, i just reamined silent for the rest of the way..

The potholes won... and i lost.

Yes for the fact NY roads suck and a double yes for the above post. The wheel/tire protection package was $1,800 when I bought my E and it's already saved me $3,200 in repairs so I'm up $1,400. Without it, I'd be taking my other half's rugged SUV anywhere and everywhere.

Yeah that bridge is rough! I drive through it almost daily to get to Long Island.

I now see why we pay our asses of with taxes in finland...

Apparently, there was a leaking water pipe that caused a huge puddle next to this guys car.
