Wanted: 18’’ Ixion wheel
 

My dad splatted one of his wheels against a pothole on an A-road last week. Dealer wants £575 for a replacement. Does anyone know of a better source?

Lots in eBay, but make sure it's the correct part number... a while back I was looking for a couple and theres a lot of different Ixion types, some even look the same but have different part numbers.

Ouch has the pothole been reported to highways?

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. Winter can play havoc on tyres/wheels as the holes are less obvious and generally deeper. I always buy winter wheel and tyre combos to protect smart alloys and give better confidence in bad weather. Saying that, I've just done a trip up to the highlands on new winter tyres, but felt seen off as temp was warmer than down South! Reassuring in the rain though.
Shameless plug; I've a good set of winter wheels in the for sale section :-) Open to offers.
