Now I've gone and broke one of my alloys...

...the 480 saga continues...

i have managed to hammer it back, blow the tyre up, although there is a hairline frackture on the wheel.

ive took it round the block and it seems ok, i'll get another at the weekend.

perhaps my streak of bad luck is trying to tell me somthing...

put the spare on before it breaks and you lose the whole car.

got a steel wheel put on there for the time being, same tyre as before so it looks ok.

the wheel had craked right though, as the tyre was as flat as a pankake when i woke up this morning.

panic over, it'll do me until i find a cetus.

I have 4 Atlas with new tyres for £40 Suddy if you want... good condition, maybe a scratch or two, not curbed... I want rid so they're priced club rates, not because they're poo.
