i was driving at night in a residental area, and i could not avoid the pothole in time. and bent the frnt passenger wheel. probably send it out to a wheel shop friday afternoon (tru-wheel..maybe). ..what can i say **** happens.

first two pics are random pics before the damage.

Holy fizzuck, that's a huge pothole!

It sucks how the rain managed to float out all of the pebbles that used to keep our potholes from being 5 feet deep.

I know here in Toronto if any damage to a car is caused by a pot whole you can actually get the city to cover you for a new one. It is the cities responsibilty to have roads under proper driving conditions, so just snap some pics of the pot hole and your rims and stress to them that it happened in the middle of the night and how at least the pot hole should of been patched up or marked with a sign a head. Give it a try you never know!

BTW...sweet RSX!

make the city pay. give them the reciept for the rims. tell them they owe you a new one and attach the pictures to it all. assuming they are digi prints have them printed somewhere. VA paid for a lot of rims. just take all your documents to the courthouse and talk to a clerk. they will guide you along.
