One big crater, 45series tire, 16 inch wheel.

Is there reimbursement for damaged vehicle parts due to neglected roads?

How does this process go about happening?

wow, that's nuts. i have 215/45-R17s and i've hit some big *** potholes, never had a problem though. interesting. from what i've heard, you'll go through hell before you get any kind of reimbursement. i guess if the city isn't a bunch of dicks about it you could get lucky, but it's a long shot.

Heh on my main street there are about 20 or so pot holes that they try to fill every week or so and it never works. I actually got wrote a ticket because I swerved a pothole and went into another lane without my turn signal. After fighting that one in court, I won it but anyways. If theres no warning then they should reimburse you. Never had it happen to anyone that I know of though.

my friend got his replaced for free but he was close friends with the guy he bought the wheels from.. you can try to get money from the city but ya its not going to be easy...

You need to check with your states DOT (Dept of Trans) to find out if they reimburse for road hazards (such as potholes). I know in MA, they DO NOT reimburse for property damage, they only reimburse for personal injury. It also depends on if you were on a state road or city road. States may not replace your wheels but some cities might..
This happened to me:


..only, Ibent 2 of mine, they've been since replaced via my insurance.

Good luck bro....my opinion of the states are they have to pay more attention to the road systems rather than lining their pockets...its cause for a revolution!

Blk4blk2k1, thats exactly what the rim i bent looks like except its on the inner lip. I don't think my insurance will cover things like rims.

sometimes you can get d.o.t. to pay but very unlikely mite have to get ins. involved.

I had everything on my car insured. From the wheels and exhaust down to my gauges and shifter.

I don't think you can do that, but you can try.
