anyone ever see this?
has anyone ever seen anything like this?
now here is the story.
was driving down sunrise highway (longislanders would know) and im in the middle lane doin about 60 heading east. then out of no where a sewercap is sunken in a bit and the front is lifted up. so i look left. car on the side. i look right. car there too. got no where to go but right into it. well i hit it and BAM all i hear is a flat. and thats what happened.
now will ADR replace it since i only bought them 3.5 months ago?
i got a police report. but it is a state road and if i wanna fight it im prolly gunna have to go to albany new york and its so out of the way. so i would rather go through ADR. i never heard of a rim splitting like that.

Rep Power: 475 well if your shocks werent blown the wheel might of not broke but adr doesnt know that they are so im guessing with something as drastic as this they have to do something...hopefully. You have wheels to use in the meantime? you can have mine if you want

dam that sucks but good luck....i hit a manhole cover similar to ur accident..bent the rim in bad...company said unless u purchased insurance on them(not the roadhazzard thing which i had- they told me it only covered manufacturer defects) they wouldnt cover it...said it was like that with most companies...hope u have better luck..they should replace it just because of that awsome split

that really blows...
are those ADR competition 7's? black with polished lip?
in the event ADR wont replace it, Ive got 2 i can sell ya for really cheap. I bent the other 2 by driving 70 over a "pot-hole" created by the city...
i think one might have slight curb-rash, but maybe not, id have to double check

Rep Power: 300 bending rims is completly different than splitting them down the center.

Rep Power: 319 just to tell you, you can fight the city about not maintaining the street right but ADR will NOT do anything about damage to wheels if its not out of factory defect...hitting something on the road means "miss use" of product so they will not warranty anything...not saying this to hurt u its just i see this too often because it sell rims every day and idiots come after they hit a pothole saying that the bend or crack was there before ...even tho it wouldnt happen that way when we mounted them the first time....

I was driving on 24 in the passing lane at night out of no where i hit something and my car started to shake i pulled over and my rim was bent.
So i went to see what it was on the road it was a large peace of stone with rebar in it so i took a pix. The next day i took it to shop and my hole right side of axle was __ck up control arm, rim ect...... called DOT DEPARTMENT and they paid for the damages

that happened to one of my classmates back in highschool, on his toyota rav4 with stock 15" steelies.
he said the lane he driving was unpaved, so he switched lanes and one of his wheels cracked completely in 2

but that that sucks man. your best bet is to get the state to pay for it - i've read before that other members have successfully gotten paid for their damaged rims.

you should put some red paint on the crack and run down the street yelling "im gunna getcha" while chasing people. haha
or just hang it up in your house.
Oh yea, glad you're ok and nothing serious happened. Check your suspension for any dmg.
