Well just as the title says on my way home tonight I was comming a rout I dont normally drive because of traffic. It was a nice little curvy back road so I was getting on it a little (50 in a 35) and as I came around a corner I nailed a deep pothole with my front tire, what I dont understand is how a pothole got in the middle of the road in the first place...after hitting the pothole I had a bad shake in my steering wheel at first I thought I threw out my alignment, but as I drove a bit more I thought this shake is pretty bad.. I slow the car was down and throw my head out the window and looked at my tire as I was driving slowly . I could see the rim wobble back and forth as I drove.I havent taken the rim off my car to see if anything else is damaged and I'm assuming the wobble must be the rim... looks like I'm in the market for a stock rim in the least .. oh well just sharing my bad day cause I know u fellas can relate .. keep on keepin on

 

Sorry to hear that man, I get paranoid myself every time I drive through a road that's bumpy. I always go slow. People get pissed off at me because I drive like a grandma sometimes but that's so I don't have to fill her up more often than she should. She's a thirsty *#*&#& when you get on it. Search the for sale forums you might find someone selling a rim.

 

im sorry bro, that sux. just look at my name

 

sorry to hear about that, that really blows

It must have been one killer pot-hole

 

that sucks man, try contacting someone in charge of DOT for your town/area and make a complant and see if they will pay for it. Some of my friends have done it and got them to pay for a new rim.

 

That happened to me pretty recently on my right rear wheel. Our wheels are pretty soft when it comes to big potholes and they don't have a whole lot of support.

 

Might wanna play it safe and get some 20's with 25 series tires, dont wanna risk damaging another wheel.

 

as long as they are 20's might as well put some chrome spinners on them

 

thats really sucks, sorry to hear that, i would try to get a hold of DOT and see what they can do for you

 

Those killer potholes sure know how to kill. Plows make potholes all the time but I see you are in Hotlanta, so I'm not sure why there would be one that big.

 

 

you cant see anything wrong with the tire from the side ..it looks fine. The rim wobbles if your looking from the side.. but thx for askin

 

call me a tard, but i think spinners on an evo would actually be good for performance. sure they would weight a bit more, but that fan action when they are rolling could cool the brembos and rotors. no more brake fade if u got spinnazzzzz!!!!

 

Take a picture and report it to the town.

 

That's the avenue I'd travel. There's no reason that you should have to fix something because DOT is alittle lax on road repairs.
