Still holds pressure fine and drives the same. It wasn't that big and I couldn't avoid it because tractor coming the other way! Anyway I know some good who can repair! Or should I replace?

Yes it has taken the shine off a great weekend. I've just got back from a 200 mile trip, wheel is holding pressure fine. Yes I'm near East grinstead so I'll give those guys a ring on Tuesday. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm normally so good at avoiding these pot holes.

Many thanks for all your comments. I've run the car down to my local Ferrari specialist who is sending the wheel off to be repaired. It's going to be heated, stripped and re finished I believe. A new tyre is also going on. Total damage roughly £240 + VAT.

I will report the pot hole to the council to save the next victim. I may also try and push for compensation though judging from some of your comments this sounds like a drawn out procedure.

Thanks again all
