Default need help... just ran over a metal object in the slow lane on pch in socal... moore inside

It looked like a man hole top but more rounded on top and it bent the inside lip of my I forged wheel on the front left wheel. Also connected slightly with the back left and put a smaller dent in that wheel. First off does anyone now who to call to make a claim on the city? I was under the impression that they are responsible for this type of debris in the roads. Ive heard of people getting paid for repairs. Second who is the best wheel repair guy in so cal? Any advice is appreciated.

Default I bet it's Truwheel in North Hollywood...

They are the best in the business. People even ship them stuff from overseas for repair. I've had five wheels repaired by them, (all flawless).

Awesome people too.

PS: It'll probably be about $125 to repair that, and I really doubt that it would be worth your time and frustration to go after the city, especially with little to back you up.<ul><li><a href="http://www.truwheel.com/">Truwheel</a></li></ul>
