Rear wheel - not so damaged - holds ~18psi pressure but no more!

Don't look good mate........

That's barely even a pimple

Remember my GMC front wheel which was pushed in 9"

Pristine wheels in Woban Sands sorted it as new for £40

Ouch you hit that hard!  Were the tyres low on pressure?

unless you're absolutely in love with those wheels it'll probably be more cost effective to buy a decent set of used rims off Ebay one of the forums

Quite possibly, yeah.

Stock rims would be more robust.

I second that motion TBH...
+ it greately increases the chances of Titsy making further errors about which car is his & which is yours...
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

True - we have now got the original wheels back out of storage and on the car. So now back driving the maro to work

Don't believe so, but the pothole is quite deep and did have water in it.
Missed it the day before but was in traffic doing somewhere between 30-50 when I hit it (as didn't see it till too late)

pristine wheels in woburn sands. I've seen them save far worse than that.
