    Still tiny, but definitely cosmetic. I wouldn't be wasting my money on wheels you don't need.

    Definitely not a crack, just some unsightly gouging.

    From what I can see from the picture, it looks cosmetic to me too. My wife's car had a good few of similar scrapes when we got it and they've been fine.

    If you do want to replace the alloys with steel at any stage, keep an eye on DoneDeal, Adverts, Gumtree, etc. You'll normally get a few people looking to buy alloys and willing to sell their steelies in return. Just make sure the fit is correct.

    Certainly cosmetic damage only, the angle and curve of the damage show that it is from running the alloy along a kerb, not pothole damage.

    This won't effect the safety of the wheel itself but you should be careful of the tyres as damage to them normally goes with wheel damage like that.

    Read the whole thread.


    Anyway, realising how you cracked/damaged a wheel may help you prevent it from happening again.....if he had cracked it at all that is.
