If you look at the line of the tarmac the second pot hole is in the road surface and not the verge. The first bigger hole is in the verge.

It is wide enough for two vehicles to pass at that point of the road, the pickup coming towards me was right in the middle of the road, he realised and swerved but didn't swerve back enough hence me hitting the pot hole.

I don't know where I stand with claiming but it looks a lot of effort and I need to be properly mobile again quickly.

I have just purchased a whole set of new wheels dropping down to 17" from the original 18"s because i was wrecking tyres and damaging the rims so often on the crappy roads in Sussex!

Have you ever thought that you have brakes as well and they can be used in the right moment, not just for no particular reason like many do. And also i doubt your V50 comes with 18" as standard! Things like this happen and it's stupid to replace photos and claim for things which no one will pay anyway! It was just unlucky, but it could happen to everyone!

Yes 18" Medusas are standard on the V50/S40 Sport and R Design!

I've got a spare Caligo 16" alloy without tyre, got a dent in outer rim otherwise OK, bit far for collection though.
