We have 1 18" SEAT Leon FR (new shape) alloy in our garden from last winter. My brother had an unfortunate encounter with a pothole. Its not that buckled because they put another tyre on it first, was only after it still didn't feel right was it discovered it was buckled, You can't see the buckle from looking at it.

My mum was telling me to take it to the dump, just wondered if people thought it was worth slapping it on ebay? I know you can pay to get wheels unbuckled, we don't need it now as he has a new one which was paid for by our good council.

I'd give you a tenner for it if your going to bin it, would be alright to wind the hose round.

Depending on where in the world you are of course.
