[rant]This morning on my way to work, BAM pothole on 495S = 2 bent rims.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
Both my driver side rims, bent. The front isworse than the back;however, still ****ed up! MA only reimburses for "personal" injury not property.
I might possibly have a State Trooper on the way to see me, since I cussed out whomever I spoke to.
DDogg is EXTREMELY pissed right now![/rant]

Whoa! Yeah, I've seen some nasty pot holes on 495S and 495N up near the MA/NH border. They're in the middle lane. I usually just get in the left lane to avoid them. Although I've got those larger profile tires, so maybe I'm protected? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] S**t dude, that sucks. How badly bent are they? Any pics? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

DDAWG are you telling me that you have your nice rims on during the winter. and not your stocks on, your should be ashamed of your self... although you did goto FL and that might be why you had them on, o well sorry to hear that Bro , i know how it feels i rocked one of my rims on a 12 foot curb in salisbury beach last summer..

Damn, that sucks man. Well, if insurance is gonna cover then, you now have a reason to get those other wheels you wanted. :shrug;

maaaaaaan, that sux about the rims...i hate potholes too, driveways also. everytime i hit one i cringe and like examine my rims for a half an hour to make sure theyre ok...

thanks for letting me know youre in the area...bitch. lol
did you have a "good time"??? lol [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

i personally like puddles, kinda gets the car cleaned off of the salt and all that crap. lol...and hydrolock is always fun too....initial D style!! wooooooooooooooot! lol

 
Rep Power: 389

Yeah, I had them on for FL, and since I'm headed back there shortly.. I was just gonna leave them on.. Now that 2 of them are bent (to the point I could NOT drive it), I'm hoping instead of repair..I'm shooting for replacements.

Nah, a bat wouldn't do that. The bat would either bend or break. LOL

Mine aren't that bad. That's why I still drive on mine. Still though. Now two of my wheels are curbed a three of them are dented. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]
I've partially hammered out one of the dents though. I'll do the rest come spring time. It takes a two pound sledge, a hardened piece of aluminum, and some leather to prevent scratching the aluminum. Then just pound pound pound pound and pound away at it. It took me maybe 100 good hits to get it half-way decent. Going from maybe a 1/4" out of round (smaller diamter) to maybe 1/16" out of round. My biggest dent is about 3/8" out of round. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

I told you guys it was bad.. Luckily on Thursday, my insurance came thru and I got new ones.. bastards wouldn't give me new tires though. I made it all the way to Savanah, GA and BAM! My tire blew out. Back-left one.. Now that rim looks curbed. I got a pic of that too...(Post later).

Monday I'm calling my insurance co to give them some wickud words yo[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 389

Yeah, tell me about it.. And today (as I washed my car in shorts...breaking a sweat mind you), when I went to clean my wheels, I noticed the front left tire has a bubble in it..
Now how in the blue hell can the claims adjuster miss that?[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG] Now I have to get new tires, and they better be reimbursing me.. Bisshes!

 
Rep Power: 585

ok...what kind of tires are/were these?? cause i dont think i ever want to get them....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

youre having a very bad few weeks w/ wheels......

 
Rep Power: 389

That pothole ruined my life.. The tires were Toyo Proxes FZ4's.. I'll be getting a new (different) set of tires very shortly.. I'm thinking Falken Azeni's.

that sux, how do you guys drive around here w/ lowered cars? I've got stock wheels on, but the damn OEM side skirt on pass side is cracked in the front from a f'n pothole

 
Rep Power: 330

We dont have lowered cars heh, actually, you just gotta be carefull. Me and havok and an intresting episode with potholes on Sunday....hehe. I'll be lowering an inch at some point....and no lower than that...even 1" is almost a bad idea in new england.

I know, i'm debating neuspeed sport 1.75" but it may not be a good idea, 17" will be going on soon but i really like the drop look

 
Rep Power: 375

holy crap. im in albany ny and its getting really nice out but there are still so many potholes. im gonna wait a few more weeks till the majority of them get filled.

 
Rep Power: 420

I'm going to get full coilovers eventually, but not for lowering. For a little evening out all around and for the better shocks. I don't want to slam it since I'll be traveling on roads. Yeah, just roads. The truth is that roads have potholes, bumps, ditches, rough patches, recessed manhole covers. The works. If you only want to be able to have a nice ride on the track, then slam it. Otherwise leave it close to stock.
