Hi All,

I was in a debate with someone about thier alloys a few weeks ago.

I noticed they had massive chipping at the top of thier alloys, were talking £1 to £2 coin size, so massive chunks missing.

 

No i was once told this was illegal as it can seriously increase the chance of a Blow out if you hit a bump on the motorway etc..

 

I was told it was teh same penalty as bald tires, so 3 points per wheel that was effected.

 

Is that the case and what is the penalty?

There is no specific law on wheels as there is on tyres, however you may fall down under whether your vehicle is fit for use on the public roads and the many penalties attached to that.

Screw the law, I'd be more worried about the wheel going bang.

 

haha - only a copper :p

 

I have 2 friends (married) both coppers living a couple of doors away - very handy ;)

But have to agree, that is not a bang I would want :scare:
