Question

Answer 1

Probably.

Answer 2

Yes it is and if you do this you would be accepting responsibility for anything that would happen plus the city would probably charge you for this as well.

Answer 3

go ahead and fill it if they do have to remove it they can without any issue just try to keep it even with the road

some rim shops specialize in fixing in dented rims

goodluck

Answer 4

Answer 5

That's a good idea-it's like killing someone with kindness.

Answer 6

Well, what you could do is take all the doggy doos from your neighbours' yards and fill that pothole, then "p**s" on it, and then make an anonymous phonecall to the city about the pothole........or

you could make a claim to the city  to pay for the damage to your rim,  when you report it....

Answer 7

Yes it is illegal, and unsafe.  You have no permits, and you sure as heck don't have the proper material.  If you are hit by another motorist while farting around in the middle of the street, and try to sue, Judge Judy will slap you upside the head.  If you fill it, you take responsibility for it as well, and if there is an accident of any kind that your "repair" job can be connected to in even the tinies way, you will be sued, and Judge Judy will slap you upside the head again.  If your city has a "Pothole Hotline", report it, but don't expect the city to repair or replace your rim.  Potholes are caused by nature.

Funny, 42 years of driving, pushing close to the 2 million mile mark, and I have yet to bend a rim.

Answer 8

I believe Fred C is correct on this one.

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to fill it with?

Answer 9

what are they going to do if you do fill it?
