I doubt ull get the city to pay for them. ur best bet would be to look around to see how much 1 wheel is worth.

I would try to get some type of money for the rim from the city. I blew a tire once on 79 here in western pa. Luckily it was right at the end of a construction zone and they covered it. They will give you a hard time but they may still cover it. Try to get it fixed without buying a new rim....they would most likely pay for that if its cheaper then the rim. GL

ouch, you can get the city to pay for it but you have to
1. first get the rim repaired at a rim shop and pay out of your pocket
2. take a pic of the pothole you hit, what time and date it happened as well as it's location.
3. send a copy of the receipt that you already paid to have your rim fixed as well everything listed on #2 above and just mail it to the city.
the progress might take some time but if they do go on with it then you will recieve a check and the city will go out and fix the pothole you had hit.

not sure if they would pay you back for a new rim unless you get a paper by a rim shop saying that it can't be replaced for so and so problem so a new rim is required and if the pothole is really bad enough to cause that damage since there is alot of fraud now a days.

i was going like 40ish... it was a pretty big dip. i didnt see it cuz it was raining..
i took pics of the pothole and the street; ill post it up later... do you guys think it is worth it hassling the city to pay for it? i wouldnt mind getting 1 rim which is $200.. but the thing is i dont wanna pay 200 out of my pocket.

In the pics it looks just like a bump/dip thing. Not a pothole. How deep was it? I mean those pics it is very hard to see so i would recommend pics on a clearer day as well. But use those to say how the weather affected your vision on seeing the pothole.
