Loggy747 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 For those who aren't aware, the roads in n.ireland are currently in a shocking state with potholes everywhere. I recently ploughed into one and busted the front passenger alloy. I've got TSW Thruxtons fitted to the car which are now discontinued which has left me in a bit of a pickle as I'm finding it impossible to source one single replacement. The car is currently on a space saver and off the road until I get this sorted but it looks like I'll have to get a full set of new wheels. Is it worth claiming off the road service for a new set of wheels? I've been genuinely inconvenienced by it but not sure how best to proceed.

Ekona Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 You'll never get them to pay out for a full set. It's not their fault that the wheel has been discontinued (but likewise, it's not your fault the wheel got busted I know!). Has the pothole been previously reported to the appropriate authority? If not then you're stuffed, if so then you have a reasonable case for some cash. The good news is you can put the money towards a decent set of wheels instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thruxtons were on the car when I bought it and I had always planned on changing so I suppose this will give me a kick in the right direction.
