Broken Wheel What To Choose Next

[mrstadds]

Hi Guys

I need help I have just broken one of my wheels on a Bl###y pothole and I can not get a replacement as they are not made or stocked

any more. (Wolfrace shark 5 spoke 17x7 et40)

I will need to buy new rims but can not decide, i need help

what do you think of the rims attached or any other suggestions

I have attached a pic of my IQ pre pothole.

How is it broken, cracked or bits missing?

Just wondering if it could be repaired? I recently had a set of wheels refurbished by Wheel Works in Crawley and they did a fantastic job and they also do repairs.

My wheels are similar to the top right image you posted but in silver, wheels look far better in silver... ;)

I do like the Wolfrace Assassin rims, a good mix of black and silver which would compliment your colour scheme.

I took the wheel to wheel works in crawley who were very helpful but

they say because the the wheel is bent on the front rim edge it is beyond repair..

Wheels are such a personal preference it's hard to say which wheels could look best. I've went for Matt Anthracite which compliments the Pearlescent White nicely but it depends on the look your going for. As Craig said - silver is always a safe bet and goes with any colour scheme. :-)

Regarding the pothole - is it possible to sue the council for being negligent?

If only one alloy has been damaged, and considering that they are no longer available, does the insurance pay for a new set?

Just curious, it seems such a lot to Shell out when you were not at fault.

It is purely a personal choice, but out of the ones you have selected I prefer the Cyclone.

I am going to try and claim from Surrey Council.

But I have to but a new set of wheels because this is my daily commute to work of 110miles a day.

Hi All

Just an update I choose to go with the Wolfrace Assasins which I think is a modern design, What do you think?

[aaronfife]

The Assasins look good on the IQ. I haven't seen this wheels on an IQ but must say, they suit it well. Good choice :)

They look really good on your IQ - good choice!
