A decent pot hole? Never heard a pot hole described as decent before! :wink:
I twatted a kerb at around 60 mph a while back and the aftermarket wheel I was running bore the brunt quite well, I thought. It was f*#?ed, but the tyre stayed inflated and I drove 20 miles home on it with no vibration before daring to look at the damage. :laugh:

Mike asked a few pages back how much these wheels weigh and the answer is 10.5kg without tyres. Not light, but bloody strong. I had a meeting with a kerb at around 60mph a little while back and still drove over 20 miles home without so much as a wobbly steering wheel. It was totally my fault. Combination of unfamiliar, unlit NSL road, another car tailgating and then an oncoming van not turning off his main beam and dazzling me. The result was a new wheel and tyre, but no other damage that I've noticed...
When I turned off later I saw the car behind was a Lotus Evora, so I was never gonna drop him! :laugh:
