The tire may appear OK, just have it inspected insuring it isnt bruised.

The car was a BMW 540 with the 6 speed and sport suspension (which used 17x8 wheels with similarly low profile tires to the porsche).

I thought this was the beginning of the run around, but in fact the construction company had someone out to see the car and wrote me a check in less than a week.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Pothole fun... Three hours for a tow truck in Jersey City, NJ... first time I have ever damaged a rim....
Getting rim replaced under insurance as well as full alignment. Seems the snow tire is fine, hoping all is well with suspension... a brief visual inspection showed everything looked good.
Anyone ever hurt the suspension over a pothole?
in MA... if the potholes injures your car, the city is SUPPOSE to take care of it... i wouldn't know b.c i drive an SUV during the winter time, and the summer.......... over there....
Yeah, most states have some sort of rule that protects the highway department from liability on damage caused by roads. Most of the time you're on your own.
Good luck chasing the city / state.
I just tried that very same approach in Dallas, TX area. No dice here - Texas Dept. of Transp. has explicit immunity unless damages are caused directly by a state employee or equipment being operated by an employee and the action that caused the damage must to be warranted as an unlawful act.
In other words, I think it means 'screw you, we'll keep the roads in whatever state of disrepair we like'

Not really. Tires are pretty flexible. A big pothole will damage a rim (or more) on a lot of wheels - the larger your wheels, the less protection your tires gives your rims from damage.
Seeing that bent rim makes me sad, but welcome to the world of low profile tires....bent rims are not at all uncommon on cars that sport these wide tread/low sidewall tires.
Ouch..sorry to hear about that. That is why I usually wait until late spring to take out my 996. The potholes are usually all filled by then.
I am sure that your suspension has not been affected by it.
I've had suspension damage from a pothole in Nashville, TN. The car was a BMW 540 with the 6 speed and sport suspension (which used 17x8 wheels with similarly low profile tires to the porsche). The front strut was bent, wheel bearing damaged (according to dealer) and TWO wheels were bent. The bent wheels were obvious, and in fact one was bent bad enough that it would leak flat in about 20 miles when you drove on it, but not when parked. Total damage was $2500.
Back to the point. I filed a claim with the Tenn. DOT., who told me four months later that when the road was under construction, the construction company was responsible. I thought this was the beginning of the run around, but in fact the construction company had someone out to see the car and wrote me a check in less than a week.
Incidentally, insurance companies regard this type of occurance as a collision (I collided with the road?), so filing a claim will likely affect your rates. What a scam.
All in all it was a big hassel, taking several hours of my time, but some time was necessary to get the car fixed regardless, and a little extra time was worth the $2500. Good luck on your repairs.

The tire may appear OK, just have it inspected insuring it isnt bruised. Check eBay for a replacement wheel.
Sorry to see this! Hope all is well in short time!
Regarding the tow truck.... I was worried I damaged the suspension so didnt want to risk driving on the spare... I was definitely overcautious since it was my first ever pothole experience.
However - if this happens again, I am def going to change the tire. No way am I going through the tow truck deal again... sucks.
RCG, I can't believe that you even hit a pothole that big? Wow, it must have popped out of nowhere. My father actually ran over a cinder block in the middle of the FDR one night and damage the oil pan on one of his older Porsches. Your misfortune definitely reminds me to ALWAYS be on the lookout when driving around the city. Frankly, even when the roads aren't riddled with potholes, as they are in the winter, New York City roads are always in terrible condition. It's a wonder on what this city actually spends its money. Anyway, sorry to hear about your wheel. Hopefully you can find a replacement on the cheap. (Ebay I guess)
UPDATE: Try this link to file a
claim with the NYC comptroller
this
trial lawyers pothole protection site
(go figure) has tons of good information.
The more i think about it - the less I think it was a pothole.... must of been a rock or chunk of concrete or something... strange, if it was a big pothole would of broken the tire too..or done something else, but the damage is just on outer portion of rim.
Hey, I work right there! JC is the WORST as far as roads go. Goes from brand new to horrible from one block to the other! I'll never take my future 996 to work!
Where do you work?
