RE30s are tough wheels. I wonder what sort of hell you'd need to put one through to wreak that sort of havoc on one?

Good luck with getting things fixed and paid for by the state/county/muncipality!

that sucks man. I'll be sure to avoid that area. I remeber one time I was riding my accord on lsd and there was a big pothole that I didn't see because there was a car ahead of me and it bent and cracked my rim. I had to get it towed because my car was lowered and the donut would suffice. It really sucks...Hope everything pans out..

Top 5 States With the Worst Roads Are...

When it comes to roads that beat and bang you up, Pennsylvania leads the nation. That's the word from the annual Highway Report Card survey of over-the road truckers conducted by Overdrive magazine.

What is so wrong with the highways and byways of Pennsylvania? The top complaints are the conditions of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-78 and I-80, as well as poor signage.

The states with the worst roads are:
1. Pennsylvania
2. Missouri
3. Louisiana
4. Michigan
5. California

The states with the best roads are:
1. Texas
2. Florida
3. Tennessee
4. Georgia and Ohio (tie)
5. Nevada and Virginia (tie)

The worst highway in the United States is:
1. I-10 in Louisiana
2. I-44 in Missouri
3. I-95 in New York

The best highway in the United States is:
1. I-75 in Florida
2. I-40 in Tennessee
3. I-10 in Texas

The most improved highway is:
1. I-40 Arkansas
2. I-80 Pennsylvania
3. I-30 Arkansas

The Overdrive survey not only ranked roads, but also the drivers who traverse them. Roughly two-thirds of respondents say road rage increased during the past year, with 36 percent calling the jump significant. The worst automobile drivers are in California, followed by Illinois and New York.

Article from Netscape Autos

Wow, and you guys aren't even on the list for roads. You are on the list for worst drivers though, lol. Good look with everything. I had a similar incident and cracked my CF lip from a damn pothole.
