Granted, I don't have the same weather ravaged roads that you have. I have dodged my share of potholes, though. lol

The roads here are absolute trash, they fill massive holes with gravel and expect it to stay put

I found M310's at a few different retailers but only one had the exact spec I needed. And they only had two left, considered getting both lol.

Some cities will. Worth a shot

I hate going into the DC. I only go to a select few spots if I have to. When you enter the city, that weird sensation you're feeling near your hip/thigh isn't some sort of health issue. It's DC trying to pick pocket the money out of your wallet. Between the overly aggressive meter maids (along with the worst signage to trap you into violations), to virtually a speed camera on every block, to the same aggressiveness with red light cameras which coincidentally have awfully short yellows, you'll be lucky to make it out of there without paying the DC visit tax.

Turns out it's a Maryland State road on the section I hit the pothole, and also apparently someone else needs to have reported the issue 24hrs before your vehicle was damaged.... so I submitted a claim to MD State Treasurer and we'll see what comes of it. From what I've heard from others in the area anything about $500 they just tell you to go to your insurance. So hopefully since I'm just asking for $250 for the wheel they'll just pay it and forget about it? *sigh*
