    Post a picture and lets see if we can find one for you. Yeah I'm sure mine would not give a sh*t either and I do feel your pain. I have had to replace more than one my self due to pot holes and curb rash.

    Are those factory wheels? Sorry to ask but I do not keep up with this stuff. The damage seems excessive, unless that was the worlds biggest pothole and you hit it in a 1g turn, you probably want to get rid of those wheels anyhow as it should not have done that to the wheel.

    PS If they are factory wheels there will almost always be numbers that can be found to identify the rim and locate a match from any number of online sources...although I live in the US so it may be somewhat harder where you live but far from impossible.

    Oh and I feel your pain bro...

    Yes they are factory rims not replicas and it was a massive pot hole . Unavoidable as well.

    Ive just email my local council as I feel they should have done something it's not as if any one could avoid it I fount set of wheels new £450 With out tires but 19's seem to be crap on my car so I'd have buy new tires as well

    If it's out there I typically can find it.
    Check with your insurance company, there is a chance they might be covered.

    Ive had bent wheels fixed also but it's not quite the same when they are actually cracked. (see the picture). It would not be safe to weld them and drive on them. Big liability.

    i bent a rim earlier this year. i couldn;t believe the salesMAN actually thought i would drive with one rim different from the others, just cuz it was 2.5 x cheaper. He showed his cards. He was definitely cheap, but never, not for an instant, did i ever think he was GAY.

    Just a tip for you, when you call the insurance company tell them you cracked your rim. If you say you cracked a wheel they might confuse you for a female highschooler.

    That aint shit! My wife would take my F350 down dirt roads doing 60mph broke a leaf spring.Cant count the # of Deer she hit.The stories come in conversaions with friends.I get rid of that and get a Chevy 4x4 2yrs old not a mark on it.She side swipes a pole then backs into someone. Loads shit in the back over the side and dents the rails.So wat about your rim? My next trk will only have set of keys.And I told her if she takes it.Her pic will be on the back of a milk carton

    What a comeback!

    Never seen DSM so quiet ;-)

    PS A woman who can drive well, "Quickest women on drag radials" 4.54 at 175mph in the 1/8th mile...and is not hard to look at either.
