Ok well i have a little problem and im banging my head against a brick wall !!!

I have a set of alloys which were a added extra on the car, costing over £1k without tyres (i didnt pay that much. I have come to sell them and i have noticed i have 2 split about 1 inch long. After a bit of research i can see that this has happened about 30 times on other models of the car which is limited eddition to only 250 cars.

I have contact suzuki and they have told me its pothole damage, so i launched a claim with my local council who have rejected it due to the damage been a manufactuer defect. Im now in a situation where both companies are blaming each other, what can i do ? can anyone tell me where i can go to get the alloys independently inspected ?

The alloys are in prefect condition apart from these 2 alloys which have the cracks on the inside rim of the wheels.

Have any of the other faulty wheels been replaced by Suzuki under warranty.

If so, find out which dealer swapped them and give them a call.

I would keep on at Suzuki

A friend of mine at the gym had a similar problem with BMW recently
but they eventually gave in when he showed other people had had the same problem
then it was on Watchdog the following week

They just try making these wheels lighter and lighter and then they can't stand the
cr*p state of the roads in the UK
