Both front and rear on right side! 2 rims, 2 wheels and probably TPMS sensors cuz she drove 1/4 mile to pull into Statesville Prison maintenance lot. Wtf!! Plus the $90 tow bill. She did offer to pay me back for the tow, so there’s that.

That's some serious wheel damage! I'd be reaching out to the wheel manufacturer on that, pothole or not.

Do the cracks go all around the wheel? That's wild.
About 1/4 way around the wheel. Tore that thing up good. I didn’t see the pothole yet, I had to come to work at 11am. But I will go take a look 2mrw and take pictures. If I can get the city to pay then that would be nice but I’m not holding my breath.

WOW!! I've never seen damage like that from a pothole. Def gotta post up a pic of that one! If it played out like it said she did, she's SUPER LUCKY!!
You don’t see the barrel break like that too often. This sucks. Hunting down rims now, tires in stock so maybe by Saturday it’ll be rolling again. I’m tempted to get some steel wheels and hub caps and tell her, there ya go!!

I was gonna have her go take pics of the hole she hit but then I thought about it and I don’t want to have to buy another set of 22’s for the other Caddy! I threw her the keys on my way out the door and told her to try not to screw up Jack’s Esky too. She didn’t appreciate that none. I know it was an accident but it irritates me when people don’t take responsibility. The whole, “it wasn’t my fault” attitude adds insult to injury. We were standing there waiting for the tow truck, I’m tired as hell, crabby and now pissed off so I started pointing out the cars as they past by. “See that one? There’s another one. Look at that car. Wow, even a semi truck.” She asks, what about it? “They all manage to somehow still have air in their ******* tires!”
Yeah, I’m a dick. But seriously, this had to happen because she wasn’t paying attention to driving the damn vehicle. Just a cost that could have been avoided when I already have so much other shit on my plate.
Jumped on the bike and came to work figuring the little time behind bars would help cool me down. It didn’t.
