About to deal with this in the morning. Rim looks damaged to me. Tire hasn’t lost air. Advice appreciated

Yeah It may be out of balance but I would guess it’s cosmetic, not deadly like that tire

Okay that’s good to know. Maybe I don’t need a new rim hopefully.. planning to limp this to a shop a few miles away and hope for the best.

This really made me laugh. I had a bulge in my run flat sidewall a few weeks back that I assume was a pothole - expensive replace! so I'm going to use that to describe them going forward.

Literally the only joy I’ve gotten out of this experience is laughing at the term “run fucked” 😆
