pather, nubrite, use the search.. price varies from $150 - $200 bucks
You didn't specify what kind of rims you have, honestly unless your rims is >$300 used, it is cheaper just get a spare one. Most OE rims are cheap especially on ebay / carpart.

You can file a claim on that and the city will pay it out for the repair/replacement.

FUCKING NEW WESTMINSTER
it's already got the exposed manholes. now part of it is paved with new cement but where it ends and meets the old road, there's a 2inch drop and even though i slowed down as soon as i saw it, it hit my suspension hard as i heard it scrape my exhaust (i'm only lowered like 1.5") and now my rear axle squeaks whenever it goes over a bump in the road.. WHAT THE FUCK | |

I shipped my Porsche over to the East Coast and I've been driving all around New York and Boston. You ain't seen pot-holes till you drive out here!! A pothole somewhere in manhattan swallowed my Porsche! Luckily 911s are tough little suckers.

How bad was the pothole? pics? are u running super low profile tires? | hole is pretty massive, you can fit two children's (age 10) heads in it
i'm running 17inch rims with 205/40/17 tires,
i called city hall and was like "wtf guys?" and the person from their "Law office" is supposed to call me back to tell me who is going to be responsible exactly (either contractors or the city).  After that I need to write them a letter explaning my situation.

What type of rims are they?
You should go take pictures of the potholes and everything. I don't think it's going to be that easy to get your money back from them.
Hope for the best. Good luck.
