cracked one of my new wheels 2day guys :cry: hit a pot hole on our **** roads,which has put a 1.5" hair line crack in the wheel.

Its worth a trying to claim off the council mate but you need pics of the pothole, wheel, where it happend, estimates, recipt of work etc etc then it still takes a while to go through but the more you send the better chance of claiming youll have
