Wondering if anyone might have any comment on this. I have driven this car since it was new in 1996. It now has 98K miles on it. My wife was driving home from a meeting and calls me from the side of the road saying she has a flat tire. Come to find out that the tire is fine but the rim is cracked. 1 inch from the inside of the rim with a crack about 20 inches long. There is also a significant dent in the rim. There has been quite a bit of construction in my neighborhood and she did mention hitting a bump in the road at about 30 mph were they had begun resurfacing the road but I have hit bumps at that speed a million times and never cracked a rim. She said the car was driving normally up until that time.

Any thougts?

And, any thoughts on how much a replacement rim will cost?
