Any other option that SORNing my car due to pothole?

Postby phunk » Fri 13.07.2012, 13:43

Two days ago I hit a pothole in my S2 that was hidden by a puddle.

This bent my rim right at the spoke and cracked the rim.

I've taken it to two difference repair places who both say that it is irreparable.

I've searched high and low for a new / used replacement wheel with no luck.

I don't want to put aftermarket wheels on the car, so I guess my only option is to SORN the car till I find a new wheel.

Unless anyone know of a secret source for S2 wheels?

I came across this on Ebay. May be a bit pricey and they may not take your wheel in exchange. It says you can buy one outright but doesn't give a price.
Have you contacted the council to see if they will compensate you for the damage?
