Hi
Im from Sheffield and Sat night late so dark i hit a 2 huge potholes.
2inch
deep please see photos

http://www.julianhales.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/wheel_damage.htm

I hit them head on, as i noticed some just before it so avoided them which
put me dead over these 2.

I felt the huge drop and bang, and noticed next morning a flat (i didnt
put
2 n 2 together). I took off the wheel to put the spare on then noticed the
damage to the inside of the 18inch rim

Just before the fotos the other holes (although not as bad) are maked out
in
very faint yellow paint around the bad parts, but not these, yet they just
have not appeared.
A new tyre is £150 and not sure if the rim can be repaired or i need a new
one yet, or if the tracking etc is out on the front (it was the rear where
the damge was done)

The width was enough to put the whole tyre in and as its a 225/40 18 shows
out wide it is, i took measurements etc

What do people think?
many thanks
(ps i only got the car the day before!!!)

UNLUCKY.
