This pissed me off!!

I was driving home on friday night (late), when all of a sudden i felt a bump and then something smack the shyt out or my back bumper. It felt like I ran a freaking 2X4 over, so i stopped my car got out and looked around and didnt see a thing. I went back the next day and found a 8 inch bolt on the road with orange paint on it....hmmmm

anyways this was the result.......

completley destroyed my rim and tire......so now im driving around on rusty steelies.....

but i figured I would put the rim to good use as a paperweight/trophy

Also, if anyone knows where i can get a new IKON JSPEC rim for a decent price LMK

That sucks... How fast did you go over that bolt, if it cracked your rim.

And as mentioned before, go after the city for sure!

there was a number for that sort of thing, it's either the city or the Ministry of Transportation... was that bolt like stuck in the road? or just left on the road from someone...

(and make sure you have pictures that you can prove it..)

you have to contact the ministry of transportation and you have to submit a complaint, then they will mail you a form to complete and you mail that and wait 3-6 months i believe to see if your complaint was approved.
