I doubt it...but you can try and ask your insurance agent....happened to me too...either but a new rim or have it repaired depending how bad it is bent or cracked..

It's bent. Did your insurance cover your wheels?

ZNITE · 12-15-2016, 09:13 AM

Nope unfortunately they did not..I end up replacing it..I have an aftermarket rims by the way... is yours still oem rims?...some forums members might have same rims you're looking for sale here...post a pic of your rim.

It depends on your insurance and the wheels. Some insurance companies will cover OEM wheels. After market wheels are 100% NOT covered.

Would that be covered under collision?

Best option is to call your insurance company and find out.. Mainly find out if they will even cover it.

ZNITE · 12-16-2016, 09:14 AM

Ouch..those are nice aftermarket rims you have...you're better off buying one..It's around $300-$400 a piece...it would cost you around $200 to fix a bent rim anyway,depending how severe the damage is.

ZNITE · 12-16-2016, 09:20 AM

By the way..is there any other damage done?...steer wheel vibrations,alignment ...check your control arms depending how hard you hit the damn pothole.

Contact the city, I've read that some cities will pay for repairs for being too lazy/busy/cheap to fix potholes.

I bent all 4 oem 225 setup w/ rfl last yr, my insurance paid out on it, but when it came to my renewal ... my premium sky rocketed up to $1100 ish. If you prepare to make a claim, be ready to pay up on renewal bill when it comes.
