I ran into a pothole in my crossfire . It bent my rim - took out my front passenger tire and im pretty sure it screwed up my alignment. Has anyone else had any problems with thier crossfire and pothole(s). I must get an alignment i got a used tire on now temporarily. No warranties on the tires i bought the car used. State wont pay for the damage Should i even be driving my crossfire on a bent rim?

 

I'd get a replacement rim ASAP. IIRC a major OEM wheel refinisher is headquartered in TN but the bookmark is on my recently-deceased laptop. Next best bet is to check out the for sale forums here. You also migbt want to change the steering stabilizer while you're getting the alignment done. My whole commute is the Pothole Dodge Run

 

Had the same thing happen here in NJ about a wk ago. Bubble on the sidewall of the driver's front tire but drivable. Got a new tire from Tire Rack and had it installed. Receipt stated wheel slightly bent but no further comment that it was not drivable. Still holds air and alginment (fortunately) appears fine. If I had to get a new OEM wheel, I would consider aftermarket inventory from Tire Rack.

 

This was the result of hitting a pothole last week:



Aside from some curb rash and the tire being junk, I think the rim is still in one piece. I'll find out when I replace the tire and have it balanced.

Sorry to hear about your incident.

 

I hit a bridge cement lip that wasn't level with the asphalt road and it blew out my rear driver tire. Ruined the tire at 40 mph. No other damage. I now drive around that lip. Not gonna take any chances. I drive over that same place in my Dodge Nitro and have no problems.
