EDIT: Had my bent wheels fixed. To see the new pics scroll to the bottom after looking at the damage here.


Out driving tonight, dark & raining hard. Hit a gigantic pot hole and put a flat spot on a wheel. At least it's still holding air.

Anybody selling a painted 17x9 ZR1 wheel in MA, NH, new england?

EDIT:
Swapped my old snowflakes on today. The rear took a hit as well, not as bad a dent but the tire has a nice bubble. So maybe I need 2 Zr1s, not sure.

No wheels, but I do have 2 new, never used centercaps just like yours if you ever need any. I'd go after the town or city in Mass that you hit the pothole in...It takes time, but they usually pay if you have a pic of the pothole, its location, and your repair estimate... Potholes are gigantic already this year and really chew up the tires and wheels, not to mention suspensions....bad time to be driving a nice hot rod until the sand has been swept up and the holes fixed......WJ

Thanks for the info on the centercaps, I'll keep that in mind. You're right it's a bad time of year to be driving a f-bod. I should have at least put on my crappy wheels for winter. That's what I get for being lazy.

Maybe I'll stop by town hall tomorrow and see what they say about covering the damage.

Update:

Left a message at my town highway dept answering machine, no call back yet.

Since it happened on an entry ramp to Rt 3 I called Mass Highway. First lady I talked to took the info of the pothole. I asked if they ever reimburse for pothole damage and she says yes, call guy #2. Had to leave a message for guy #2. Then he calls back when I'm out and says no they never reimburse property damage and quotes some Mass legislation #.

So I'm still looking for 2 painted 17x9 ZR1's if anybody is selling.

As long as the wheels are in decent shape I'll take everything. Can you send me pics of them when you have a chance:

Thanks.

I'll try to get pics as soon as I can....the wheels are not in the greatest shape

I said I was looking for decent, not perfect. If the wheels are round that's a good start.

Krazy98Z28, just a heads up. After talking to a few people I decided to try to get my wheels fixed. We'll see how that goes, I'll post some pics when I get them back. Just wanted to let you know in case someone else might be interested in your wheels.

Thanks,
Mark

No problem. I won't be listing them for sale for a couple months, so its all good.

Got my wheels back and they look good, like brand new. It was $100 per wheel to make it straight and then I also had them refinished at $50 a wheel. It ended up being expensive compared to buying some used wheels but they do look nice. Check em out:

Thanks, they are Rim and Wheel Works in Waltham MA: http://www.rimandwheelworks.com/

My other 2 wheels look like **** compared to the repaired ones so I think I'm getting them refinished to match.
