Drove over a VERY VERY large pothole at the weekend and smashed my rear passenger side alloy and ripped the tyre to bits wich now has a peice of wheel missing and a 10" gash allong the inside wall and then nearly get 3 points for havin a skinny wheel on whilst i look for new wheels wich the copper recons i have had the skinny wheel on for about 3 months
my witness on here is cartoonhead to say i have not had it on that long lol
the copper is a T!T
but on the bright side my misus took me to wheelbase near my house and baught me some brand new 15" league integral a2 wheels with brand new tyres for £200 BARGAIN if you ask me and off to get a claim form from the council tomoz right after i have taken pictures of my wheel and the VERY LARGE pothole and will be posting them off along with my recipt from wheelbase think ill claim for a new set of shocks aswell whilst im at it
anyway they might not be 17" but there pretty nice if i say so

i can confirm there was 4 ALLOYS on the car.
it would be good to see the video/photo evidence to back up his 3mths and if he has its good to see that there stalking drivers for 3mth for the offence of drivin on a spacesaver.
deffo get photos of the pot hole and get a claim in.

You'll get jack s**t without a 3rd party witness and photographs of the damage at the time of the incident. Not pictures when you got home.
