I ran over a deep pothole in Jersey City going ~45mph. I couldn't switch to the other lane since there was a car there. The damage was on my passenger side wheels. The front was cracked and bent. The rear was slightly bent. Got a flat tire in front and leaking tire at the back. Strauss was able to "beasealed" the rear tire. The wheels were re-aligned, and I'm gonna have a local body shop check the suspension, brakes, struts, etc.
My questions:
1. what is "beasealed"? That's what it said on the workpaper ("passenger rear tire was beasealed"). I called Tire Rack and they were not familiar with the term. Google didn't yield any useful results.
2. Is the rear wheel/tire fine? Should I be worried over that slight bent?
3. What could I do with the damaged front wheel? I already ordered and installed a brand new RPF1 to replace it. Should I just throw it away? I doubt I could sell 1 broken wheel. I looked at various wheel repair websites and it seems that the cost to repair it is ~$150 (vs $230 brand new RPF1 shipped from Tire Rack).
4. Also, the Strauss invoice says that I have to bring back my car after 100 miles so that they can re-torque the wheels. Is this necessary? They scratched the area around the lugs. The scratches are small and negligible. But the RPF1s installed by the dealership was scratch-less and I didn't have to come back for a re-torque (or at least Honda didn't mention anything about it).
