So I'm driving down the freeway tonight following a Santa Fe doing about 75 and all the sudden out form underneath it comes a 2x4 . It musta saw it coming and straddled it. So I hit it with my front drivers side tire. I didn't have time to swerve outa the way since I didn't see it coming. I kept watching the dash for the TPMS light and sure enough about 1.5 miles later there it was. So now Ive got the dang donut on. I'm gonna call a place tomorrow and see if they can fix it and I have road hazard on the tire because the side wall got cut in half. If not I guess I could turn it into my insurance but I would rather not pay the $100 deductible and have a claim . Hopefully it wont be much more then $100 to fix it if they can. Anyone had any experience with something like this?

 

Ouch! That sucks.

I broke one of my rims months ago and it could not be fixed.

 

I just discovered a dent on the inside lip of my rim this weekend

Good luck man. Hope you get it covered

 

dang! i feel you man. i would think that you'd be able to go over a 2x4 w/out bending it like that. i think i should check my rims now. i've gone over plenty of stuff, and into plenty of ditches and potholes to not be worried too.

 

that sucks, hope you can get it fixed

 

that sucks. there is a shop in atl called wheel wizards i think. that can fix it

 

back in about november i hit a 2x4 all the way across the state (daytona). got it fixed back here in tampa. it was on the inside of the rim tho. they usually have to heat it and will prob have to repaint that part of your rim since its on the outside. after i got that fixed, went on another road trip and got within 1.5hrs of being home and the TPMS went off again. this time it was the rear wheel, from the same incident. cost me $100 each.

 

i had a bent wheel, it only cost me about 150 CND to fix the damn thing. anyways, hope everything work out for you! GL!!

 

i feel like everytime i go to the city i bend my rim....and i try soo hard to dodge the imperfections in the street...it cost 130 at this place in booklyn....they do a good job. i just wish their was a place in central jersey, closer to where i live

 

don't drive in montreal, i worry about even the stock rims on the roads around here,

tire should be covered under roadhazards, depending where you got it, rim, well, not sure if insurance will cover it,

best of luck

 

Well I dropped my rim off yesterday to get fixed and the guy told me 135.50 to fix it and it may be a slight bit discolored becasue of the anodized finish on them. So well see what they look like in a day or two.
