Help! Have Buckled 2 Alloys

January 8, 2006

ARRGGHHHH!! The state of Britain's roads is appaulling! Last night, hit a pot hole at about 40, and have buckled my left front and rear wheels! :crybaby:

I have put the spare on the front to make it reasonably drivable again, but my rear is also slightly buckled, and I don't want to drive on it too much in its current condition. So, Does anyone have either a 6 spoke 17" Fondamental 5x100 38 off-set (I think!), preferrably with rubber, or a complete set of anything with rubber in the right size that I can borrow / rent for a couple of weeks while I get something sorted, or if the price is right even buy.

I'm in Derby, and can drive slowly, and not too far. Am prepared to get them today or any evening this coming week.

Also, does anyone know where I stand with the Council, and some kind of refund for their crap roads knackering my wheels?

Thanks all, hope someone can help!

That's the UK's cr@p roads for ya..... they're full of poxy pot holes :ffs:

Can't help with the wheels i'm affraid but try and get some photos of the pot holes you reckon (no doubt there are many) caused the damage to your wheels before you make a claim to the council (highways department) for damage.

If you don't, they will fill those holes faster than you can blow up a tyre using a garage airline and then deny that they were there.
