P1 alloy wheel question
I have 17" P1 alloys
last friday I hit a pothole (OSFront) at night whilst going x country..
it made an alimghty bang.. (50mph ish as it was muddy and I didnt see the pothole)
on the monday I had 4 new tyres fitted, and they noticed that on the inside of the rim theres a ferking great dent in the rim.
I was a bit shocked, and asked if it would be safe etc.. they said yes.
?
Anyone think I might be risking life and limb with this situation?
REALLY dont want to have to cough up for new rims..
can you even buy P1 alloys anymore?

Chrome:
I had a UK turbo with 17'' prodive wheels/Bridgstone SO2's.
Hit a 150mm deep pothole at a good 60 mph and dented the front (realy hard) and the rear about 75% as hard. Had both straightened by a local wheel refurbisher, and drove another hard 23000 miles on them. The tyres were PERFECT, no damage.
Claimed on the Council for bad road conditions and actually won after 3 months!
Cost me £35 per wheel, inc balancing.
