Sorry to hear that....Same thing happened to me in delaware though...Good thing i had bought the rim and tire insurance, it was well worth it since insurance was $1000 and damage alone was $2500 since they had to replace one wheel and one tire.

What happened to your headlight? did it get moved out of place?

Yup, but it did light up the bird's nests and street signs extremely well for a day.

I hate NYC's roads. I'm always driving slow on any roads near there. That is one of my worst fears. I've had a few close calls passing through NY. Sorry to see that!

Dang sucks to hear man, I drive into NYC a lot and its pretty ****ty, one lesson I've learn is to drive slow and hog traffic and if needed, ride in between the lane. A few cuss words and fingers is a good trade off for bent wheels

I hit a bad pot hole in the city with my front rim heading from getting the tints done. I cant believe there was nothing. These roads suck like no tomorrow and I am sure NY is just as bad with this last winter. Time to head SOUTH

Ouch, the same thing happen to on my IS 250 but not in NYC, in Stamford, CT. The roads are terrible as well and I had to wait 2 months before I received a payment from the city. I drive into NYC a lot and I so try to avoid some of those streets in LES.
