Potholes

EazyD · 02-19-2011, 05:28 PM

Are they pretty bad around you? The constant melting and re-freezing around here (not to mention idiot plow trucks) has been taking its toll on the roads.

I scraped a rim coming out of a pothole the other day. It was dark and rainy, didn't see it. How do I fix this damage? The paint is scraped off, it's not jagged metal or anything, but won't it rust if I don't do anything?

(I had a thread in another section, but I don't think anyone saw it)

I think the rim is aluminum and won't rust.. I don't know whats available in MA, but here
in TX there are rim repair shops.. You might want to contact a wheel dealer and ask them
if there are any local to you ..

I have to say for me it seems GA roads are overall great. Except I-285. That is a joke. Sorry for your misfortune.
