it may be worth contacting suppliers of these wheels to see if they have an ex display wheel that they will sell cheap.

Take a pic of the said pothole, contact the council and get them to pay for the wheel.
Have known a few people who have done this and have got their wheels replaced on the council.
Worth a try.

send them to the council, or it maybe the highways agency you have to contact, you should have sufficient evidence there to claim.

I noticed this too, i went for a drive the other day and the road was absolutely covered in holes where the wearing course of the tarmac had come away. Probably down to the frost getting underneath and then lifting the tarmac as it gets warmer.

snow ruins roads... water gets in the cracks freezes and expands making the hole/crack bigger and bigger.
