Dont you need to put something like a newspaper with headline or something to prove the date in the picture of the pothole, to stop the council attempting to weasel out of compensating you? Pretty hefty dent.

Roads near me practically dissolve after heavy rain or frost.

i thought i would just get a new set, yeah, i think you can just get one

but...

the wheels that are on are 12 months old so lost a bit of shine

so thought new set would be the best way, so 2 rs 7 spokes are for sale
with tyres

I've always purchased new wheels for my cars and everytime they go on true and the first time the tyres are changed the fuckers are almost square

They should call it pothole tax

bad shit bout your wheel andy.it can get repaired tho cant it?

you should get compo if you have reported the road defect to,A,the police,B,the council,C,highways agency,

then when you go to pick the check up,you have to be accompanied with your great grandad and his dad too,then theyll pay out

failing that ,try the insurance bureau!

did you get the check ok,by the way! colin,
