Yeah it's a total joke, going to try get the council to pay for it as it must have been something on the road that did it. Although don't hold out much hope but nothing to loose really.

I just ordered a new alloy and tyre, just incase and it was only like £50 more than just a tyre so thought at least I'll have a spare as I don't think the alloy is damaged but can have a good look at it in my own time really.

and my road tax is due as well, plus buying other stuff this will be an expensive month
