Only if the pothole is in the city records scheduled for repair. If it's new and not reported then you're screwed.

After the big storm 2 weeks ago I had to watch out for 5 potholes going to work. And I only work 2 miles away. It took them about a week to fix.

The stock rims are pretty resistant to bending (the 17's that is). I must of ran over alot of potholes lately with all the rain.

My wife bent a couple rims on a pothole in Arcadia a couple years ago. She took pictures of the bent wheels, the pothole and the conditions. She filed a claim with the city but didnt get **** from them. Be careful out there!!!

Do you know if they were working on fixing it? I thought Arcadia was kind of too posh to have potholes.

So Cal. weather with the Z = BS

Nope, it was there at least 2 weeks after she hit it.
