Hate NYC potholes

I was going 85 and I hit a crater. Not a pothole. But a massive hole and bent my rims. Anyone know a place in NYC to straighten it out? Lucky it's not leaking air and it's forged.

I'm going to get all 4 wheels painted black since the paint came off this one.

Are those 20" rims? Driving on 20" rim in New York City, you better have a few spare rims and tires lying around.

that really sucks... do you have the insurance to cover wheels / tires?

The Northern State (LI), has claimed two on me. Thank god I have the insurance... cost $25.00 to replace each time. The waiting for the flatbed and sitting at the dealer was horrible 5+ hours....

I've heard that forged rims cannot be mended when bent. One of my friends, @middly , bent his HRE's, and had to pay $$$ to get his front wheel replaced since they couldn't be fixed.

Nope, now I'd wished I had gotten it. I didn't expect to bend the rims lol

It's on the Gowanus expressway, near where it splits into the Belt Parkway and 278W. The crater is on the far right lane.
