Small diameter wheel+big hole=front suspension left behind :P

DO NOT get it welded, my friend has his welded and it held for 6 months tops. Those look like Motegi MR-7, they go for less then 150$CAD, so should be fairly cheap in USD$

See if you can get the city to pay for the wheels.

Seriously, a couple of years back, I rolled over a big ass pothole on the freeway in town (it was winter) and it popped my tire and bent my rim. My dad was pissed, he wrote a letter to the department that takes care of the roads, and eventually they paid for the wheel and tire...

...to the tune of $700. That's why he was so pissed.

any way u can get the town to pay for it? a friend of mine took pics of the hole, and the damage, and the town got him new rims and tires.... might be worth the try

if not u can get the only one with wavy wheels... its a fasion statement

^^^I would try this. I had a friend who bent his front axle off-roading and he called the city the next day and told them he ran over a saftey plate that was stacked three high and it bent his axle. They told him to get three estimates and they would pay the lowest one.

I've been with a friend and we got pulled ovis reply, "I'm not ------ drunk, just trying to spare my ------ 18's from these pothole that the city wont fix because they pay you too much for eatin donuts!!"

i had a friend who had hit a pot hole just like i did and bent his rim, he said he went to the town to see if they would pay for them and they didnt, so i never tried asking. well i guess i should try, it couldnt hurt. so now i have to look for a pothole somewhere, because i got my bent rim on the highway comming back from Boston, and im never gonna find out where the hole was.
ok so where do i go to get this problem solved. the town office building? what did you guys do when it happaned to you. well thanks for the help guys/gals

by the way the rims are Katana VR-7's 17in.
