So, on a country lane driving my wifes 156 and had to move further left to avoid a car coming the other way than I would have liked. Went slightly off the edge of the tarmac and hit more of a divot than a full on pothole. Result was a blowout and a dented 16" teledial. The 16" teledials were bought to replace some 17" selespeed wheels that also cracked. I know the roads round us are bad but I've never broken a wheel on another car. Is this just bad luck?

Does anyone have a 156 16" teledial they are looking to get rid of cheap?

Ebay is your best bet. Luckily they are quite easy to get hold of.

They are no softer than most alloys... My mum's had some BMW ones that have been notoriously bad.
