Sad to read that. I hope your rim is all good. Did you get the tire warranty?

I did the same, bent the rim just a little but the tire was okay and not losing air. Because of no tire damage, my tire and wheel warranty won't fix it! Next time I will hit it harder...

wait a minute. tire and rim warranty that won't cover the rim unless the tire is also damaged? which stipulation in the warranty states this? sounds like your dealer screwed you.

I would sue the city. In California, if things like that occurs on the FWY, or city street, take photos, document and contact CalTrans or the city demanding reimbursement. GL
