Alloy Wheel Damaged By Pothole

January 15, 2011

Hi

Ive just had my nearside front alloy wheel damaged by a pothole.

could someone point me in the right direction for getting a single original 17" alloy for 53 plate T4 avensis estate?

also, has anyone been successful in claiming against the council?

Would you like to post a photo?

I would be also interested to see answers for this question.

My car had two wheels with bit of rust.

Cheers.

I have tried to claim from the council for two damaged tyres and was told that the road was checked within the required period of time and was deemed safe, so there is no case for compensation.

Funnily enough, the whole section of road has now been resurfaced as it was in terrible condition.

Same like mine.

How did you manage to spot that?

I must check mine. Well I tried to search eBay and could not find one.

Check with your local toyota, I think they sell it for 120/ alloys.

or you can try

Break Yard

Parts Gateway.

Let us know from where you get it and for how much?

Cheers.

Ouch! Now that must have been one hell of a pot hole. I saw a set of genuine Toyota alloys for sale for a couple of hundred quid the other week back. I posted it on here, but no one seemed that interested in them.

eBay is the best place I've found for replacing Toyota parts at a cost effective price...
