F Sunset BLVD. it destroyed my rim/tire! HELP! no 56k!

Sam12345 · 07-14-2008, 09:00 PM

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Son Tran Fixed my rim and it looks BRAND NEW!!! check out my new thread for pictures!!!!!!!!!

EDIT/UPDATE: THANKGOD! i went to 2 different shops today and they both examined it and said it is only cosmetic damage. No new tire is neccasary!!!! lol
I called Son Tran and i am meeting up with him in a few hours to get this fixed!
Now i can get the aero-lip! hell yea!

I was driving down sunset blvd......between Hilguard and 405 freeway. I was headed towards 405 and i was in the right lane (biggest mistake). There is alot of traffic and a pick-up truck is to my left, we were cruising around 40mph. Then i see this massive pothole infront of me and i swear i was looking death in the eyes....
I slowed down a bit and tried to change lanes, but this pick-up truck was RIGHT next to me. So ....... i had no choice but to go over it

I hit it and my entire car gives a THUMP and my radio turns off for a second. I am like OMFG and thinking that my rim is definatly cracked and i am screwed.
I reach my destination and i get out and take a look and i am horrified at what i was looking at....

the rim looks like its been curbed against jagged rocks and the tire is ripping off.

I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK TO DO!!!
I need suggestions for place to do the work, and where to get the new tire.

P.S. I am on "matte" black csl reps from EAS with general exclaim tires. oh and i am on H&r race springs as well

scollins · 07-14-2008, 09:11 PM

MAN!!! That is some crazy damage. I would get pictures of the pothole that caused the damage then file a claim with the government (whichever one is responsible for road maint, city or state) and seek reimbursement.

Ouch, sorry to hear it man, that is one of the uglier ones I've seen. Agree with the advice above.

evo2335 · 07-14-2008, 09:30 PM

AU335 · 07-14-2008, 09:34 PM

Man, that is a touch site to look at. I am really sorry about that man. I am having to refinish my Gunmetal CSLs so it is not a good day for us CSL owners today.

PS: Dont ever use EAGLE F1 ALL Wheel and Tire Cleaner on Powdercoated rims....I found out the hard way today and its going to cost me....bad

addy85 · 07-14-2008, 09:42 PM

You'll have to file the claim with the city bud, not the government

good luck

richsaturday · 07-14-2008, 09:56 PM

Same thing happened to me, when I hit a deep trench. Fortunately, my wheels didn't get damaged, but I got bubbles on my driver side front and rear tires. Did some investigation and found out it was a project by So Cal Gas Co. Called them and filed a claim, had to go through some red tape, but they were able to reimburse me the cost of the 2 runflat tires. Process probably took 3 weeks. I actually got 4 new non-runflat tires (bridgestone RE760s), the tire guy hooked me up with an invoice for the 2 runflats and that what I sent to the Gas Co.

Psylight · 07-14-2008, 10:40 PM

Sorry man, I feel for ya.

SolidSnake2634 · 07-14-2008, 10:49 PM

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 07-15-2008, 12:24 AM

Damn, sorry to hear about your misfortune . . . You can try to have the city pay for it but they're likely to tell you to go fuck yourself.
