Form LD0274

I'm 18 + my license is barley 1 month old id rather buy one on my own considering that a friend told me they might increase the insurance

Where would you recommend I check it out ? My local wheel shop or pay a take it to the dealership ?

This claim form with Caltrans isn't through your insurance. This reimbursement is through the state.

Oh dam! that sucks, hope you can get it fixed, if I saw you going off the road I would've surely helped you out

Take it to a mechanic you trust. If you don't have one then take it to an alignment shop they should be able to tell you straight away if anything is bent.

Increased insurance is only when damage to a person/thing is your fault. It is covered by your comprehensive insurance. Youll just have to pay a deductible.

This is an instance where the people running Rotas would just shrug it off, while high end rims on the street would make the situation devastating. IB4pricywheelswontbreak

Dont be foolish, keep insurance out of it.

Just to be on the safe side I'd have the suspension checked out. Breaking a wheel is no small feat.

with honda's if you have comprehensive warranty, and something like this occurred you would be 100% covered rim and tire. Did you pick up any kind of extra / factory warranty?

technically that huge rock is not to be on the road therefore it is claimable by warranty.

I think my girlfriend passed you as well. But not in her FRS. She was on her way from Ontario airport goon towards hacienda heights with her family. She was tellin me about it last night and wanted her dad to pull over for love of the twins, but he wouldn't.

She said the dude may have been waring a beanie and long shorts.

she blew a tire the 2nd week of June with less than 2k miles on the car after hitting a pot hole. Tire cost like 300 because nobody but Toyota could get them quickly.

That's the reason why I hate driving on the highway. Good luck and hopefully everything works out the way you want it to be.

Does that work with the entire car? The sharkfin on top of my CR-Z somehow broke (noticed it loose when I was washing the car one day, and pulled it right off). Dealer refused to warranty it because "it's not Honda's fault that it broke." I would think that a cracked rim from road debris would fall under the same judgement.
I ended up basically gluing it down with clear window sealant/gasket. Worked like a charm.
