Was giving the Z its first real clean of the year as the weather started off good only to find this!

Cracked straight through and all i can think of is its done from the terrible roads/potholes in my area, as they havent been powder coated or had anything done to them other then being sprayed from being bought. Now iv been weighing my options about the past day or so, and basically have come to these options;
1, Try source another replacement - Been discontinued for 2 years now, all the suppliers iv tried in the uk dont have them and cant source them from japan so this option is very very unlikely as they are a rare wheel in the UK, especially in 20"
2, Alloy welding - Not looking at all to go down this route as id never trust the integrity of the alloy again.
3, Brand new set - Looking mainly at this one, but what do you think are nice options along in the 20's catagory as there dont seem to be many nice ones about these days ( quite fussy have to be 20x10 40/42 offset rear and 20x9 30 offset front and chrome/polished lips ofc!)
As for the way the damage is caused has anyone had any advice on a possible claim against the council? or if its even worth going down that route?
Thanks!
