Damn yo, sorry to hear that, well, at least its a steelie and not a aftermarket RIM, this happened to my friend in his brand new Rota Slips and he fuked em up, so he had to buy a new rim and a new tire, he was so pissed!

yea im pissed even tho its a steelie, thats money out of my pocket and another goodyear eagle gps tire, damn county and their slackin ass road workers

That sucks man, I would offer to sell you 2 of my steelies for replacement, but shipping is probably gonna be a bitch so youre better off just hitting up the junkyard.

Napa has the 3rd most poorly maintained roads in the bay area, so swerving around potholes and shit is a day in the life. Luckily I aint here as much with school, and the freeways and Concord, CA is maintained pretty well so its all good.

they arent too bad around here but....when theres a problem it takes forever to fix, the county workers suck ass! when they paved my road not to long ago they didnt even goto the curb they stoped like 4 inches away from it, i swear these days everything is done half assed

What dose word "Potholes"mean!
The hole in the road maybe?

:confused:

That's shit that you have to threw your money away for nothing :(
I hope that you'll get it cheap (rim and tyre)

that sucks hope u can find the tire and rim for cheap

take it to the city and have them pay for it. There was another guy a while ago that had ran into the same problem and then took it to the city and had them replace it.

thats a really good idea kicker

If you think your roads are bad, try driving around in Wilkes-Barre where I go to school....there are roads up there that I almost can't drive on cause there are too many big pot holes.

NO WAY YOU ARE IN THE WILKES BARRE AREA. I LIVE THIER TOO I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON THE BORED where do u go to school at???



whats your sn

I'm a sophomore at Wilkes University.....I'm home for Christmas break now.....I drive a yellow 89 dx sedan, what's your ride?

91 dx.....whats your aim name we can talk thier

AIM is MightyTexn

WOW. I'v never seen a rim bent like that before.
Sorry to see that. You should be able to find a replacement for fairly cheap. Your lucky it diddent screw up your suspention, that would be a little more expensive than a rim/tire.
