I was driving 65 mph on 84 towards PA. The road wasn't too bad overall. Until I heard a solid "boom, boom" as both driver side wheels hit. It looked like just another highway seam that was patched, but it turned out to be a gap with a hole.

The front wheel is clearly a little bent and there's a vibration in the steering wheel whlie driving. The rear might be OK but I have to take it off to inspect the inside rim. Both tires are still holding air.

Two questions

1. Can rims like this really be repaired? It's worth doing?

2. Has anyone tried to get reimbursed from the state for pothole damage? Apparently it's a thing.
