Stupid Stoke-on-Trent roads. So just phoned up Vauxhall Stealer to see how much a new set of Mv6 wheels are..... £1000 :-?
So Santa won't be bringing me any of them ;D

Are they all buckled? Often the fronts get a harder time  of it as the potholes are often near junctions so it you're braking when you hit one there's the extra weight transfer of the car baring down on that wheel.

No just the two front ones I think :-? Was going to get a full set in the spring as i didn't want to get salt all over them.....
Mine are in need of TLC, but they will keep in the garage for spares :y

Hi mate, i would keep the wheels on the car and get a new set for show purposes ,and let the salt get at them instead of the new ones. :y
