Ok so it rained like crazy yesterday, we all know that. Well I drive on Utica rd. alot and it's been under construction for a while now. Last night, right before Dodge Park in front of the liquor store I hit a humungo pot hole and totally cracked, bent, and ruined my passenger side front rim. I cannot believe how huge the pot hole was and it was right on the road. It was about 10:30. Now my kitty has a donut on it and i am on the search for a new rim or new rims for as cheap as i can get em! I love the rims i have just cuz they've got yellow hub caps that go on em and they match my car. But a new rim...single one just like that is $120. Help! What should i do? I went on ebay and found some rims but they're kinda too plain for my style:rolleyes: I went to the police station after a guy who hit the hole tooo told me to. Just beware when it rains because Utica rd. is **** **** and more ****!!!! I took pictures of the whole ordeal because i feel the city and/or the constuction company is responsible. A lot of people were hittin the hole! When i went over to take pictures of it i found at least three cheap ass rim pieces bent, and broken in half. The hole was a good six inches deep!!! The cops went right away went and fixed it...filled it with rocks!! :thumbsup: They gave me the cities number!!! Oh they are definately gonna hear it from me!! Word of advice....watch out for Utica rd. avoid it if you can, i sure know i am going to try to from now on! Watch out for potholes :disgust:!!!!!

Check with either the road commission or Michigan Department of Transportation. You might be able to make a claim for the damage to your rim. You may not get the money quick, but you might be able to get it back for the price of the damage, and I am sure someone in NECO that can help ya with finding another rim.

Make sure you get an alignment and your suspension/steering components checked. A shock like that probably did more than just break your rim.
