that really sucks. Did you hit a pothole? I know some cities, and or states will provide $$ for the damage.

that much wheel damage and no flat? or did u replace the tire?


hurry and go take a picture of the pothole.


i filed 3 claims against san francisco, berkeley, and caltran (later defered to contracted construction company). needed new tire, alignment. should've gotten new wheels too (2 i found out 2 years later they were slightly out of round)...but oh well. anyway, i went to the city hall in each case and said i wanted to file a claim against the city (and caltran since it was on a highway). all 3 paid the claim. although sf got cheap on me and took off 50 bucks a tire (for two) cause they had 10k miles on them

In this instance, a friend put a dent in my rim against a curb when he misjudged the entrance to a gas station. So I have nothing to claim against the city...

Bump... :p
