Hey guys,
Fell into a massive Oakland pothole yesterday. No way anything short of being a hovercraft was going to save me, much less pothole detection. I have no idea how I visually missed it, but I must've fallen into the edge of it.
Was very loud, and look at the damage (see attached).
I have a tire warranty that covers damage from road hazards and potholes are included, but "cosmetic rim damage" is not covered. I'm probably going to seek out a rim repair shop for an estimate (there is a specialty shop near me that has great yelp reviews from porsche owners and the like).
I'd like to get the community's opinion on the tire damage though... should I be worried about a potential blow out from sidewall damage or nah? I haven't taken the car over 50 mph since it happened, but so far alignment and suspension seem unaffected. Tire tread also seems unaffected. Haven't even cracked 1000 miles yet...
Thanks in advance all
