Default south jersey people watch out for new pot holes.......

ok.. last night around 10:30pm i was driving down admiral wilson blvd. ( if anyone from jersey is familiar with the camden area). crusing at a pretty fast pace, like around 65-70mph, coming back from philly. everything was cool and going smooth when my boy's phone rang. he was trying to get diretions to his friends house so he can stay the night, when he asked me if i knew where this place was. i was watching the roads but the pot hole came out of nowhere and i hit it with a loud thud and a hop. when i heard that i knew something was wrong. stopped to check but couldn't see anything wrong but when i started driving again my car felt like it was wobbling. so when i got to his friend's house i had good light to check it out..... both sides,inner and outter lips, were bent. so now i have to order another circuit 8. does anyone know of any places to order just one rim? if its possible i didnt know that. thanks for eveyones time. just felt like i had to post it and if its in the wrong forum sorry.

Might be worth taking it to a wheel shop sometimes they are able to repair the wheel and rebalance it. I don't know the extent of the damage but its worth a try.

Seems like the whole state of NJ is that way. I hit an unavoidable pothole last week with my truck (S-10 Blazer) and knocked the steering and alignment out of wack. Mind you this is a 4x4.

Thank goodness there are no pothole problems here in San Fran. That would be a bitch on my car. What were you doing in Philly and the Camden area? Isn't that a ghetto. I imagine the roads are already fucked up.

^#%$ New York. I was somewhere in Manhattan and I hit a pothole that put a flat spot in my header, and I'm at stock height.
