I hate potholes and let me tell you, here in Miami the streets are pure garbage. GARBAGE. I hate miami.

 

Holy *****! that's bad! I've never even bent mine, and I hit some holes where i'm 100% positive it should have tacoed my wheel

In Ny you can file a claim with the city for repairs, I suggest you look into it.

You might not get anything, but it's worth a try.
If nothing else they will put a little effort into patching the pothole.

 

I hit a bad one recently but the tire sidewall broke and didn't damage the wheel at all. It was a rainy night and the hole was filled with water so I didn't see it at all. It was a slightly cheaper mistake. I feel your pain though...

 

So are the ASAs lightweight? I was wondering if that's one disadvantage of lightweight rims, not very knowledgeable about that.

The other day I was sitting at a light in a right hand turn lane and watched as cars going to the left kept hitting a puddle which filled a big pot hole, one right after the other hit it, they looked like lemmings going off a cliff.

 

But is that because the tire is bad or the rim was to messed up to allow the tire to hold air?

 

Its all based on the materials and how they are made.

 

holy crap... that at 35 mph? wow. In Wisconsin pot holes are the worst. Snow plows litterally rip holes. Plus constant changes in tempature between 0 degrees and 80 degress asphult makes the road the worst. It must have been over4.5 inches deep to do that, at that speed. Dont waste your time fileing with the city. You wont get anything. So far I have hit some at 75 mph and my cheepo rims from tirerack.com held up

ps. I feel your pain... I have two cracked fat fives.

 

damn i know that feeling. i hit a pot hole at about 40 and ****** cracked the lip on my rim so baddly. i was driving back home and all i hear is scraping and the car started pulling i was like AHHHH ****!!!! lol...i hate that crap...gotta spend money that you were gonna use on a new turbo or something

 

No it was new clutch money.

Here is the real effed up part. I ordered the new wheel from Tire Rack and even though it wont be in until June 27/28 they charged my account.

Thats some BS taking payment over a month in advance.

 

I was thinking about getting AR2s, do you have any pics prior to the pot hole damage?

thanks in advance.
