Well I've finally got my 19" Sportec wheels fitted, and IMHO the car looks great [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

However, the day before I collected them (thanks again Damian if you read this I hit the pothole also at the above link and wrecked two of the standard wheels [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]
I couldn't avoid it, traffic coming the other way and as you can see this monster covered half of my side of the road!

And I was only doing 50-60mph, had the parents on board [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]

Now there is no way I can blame the quality/strength of the wheel, but what I will rant about is the state of our roads [img]images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img]

This was NOT a country back-route, it's an "A" road that is a very busy cut through from the M11 to the A1M [img]images/graemlins/director.gif[/img]

I'd be sending that photo of to the local council with a pic of the wheels and a bill, no way would I
let them get away with that.

Good luck, Suffolk CC are actually fighting me in court over the hump back bridge incident [img]images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I have done this twice with Essex Council and had the cheque within 1 month both times, you must send a picture and state exactly where and when it happened.

Simple

Sent off yesterday...that's why I took the picture [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Mind you good job I did, went back past it yesterday and it'd been filled!

That could be because someone else has also claimed against that hole [img]images/graemlins/033102scull_1_prv.gif[/img]

Good luck - let us know the outcome

I did the same thing with Herts CC and got the full payment a little later. My BMW 18'' alloy badly damaged by a series of deep potholes near where I used to live.


Good luck! [img]images/graemlins/bigwave.gif[/img]
