I have just remembered, a friend decided to sell his BMW because of wheel damage, anything more than a small pothole would crack a rim, small cracks can be welded but longer than a couple of inches turned them into scrap. He managed to get one from a council claim but with the amount of problems he had getting the claim sorted he decided it was not worth it, by the time he had sold the car it had 3 wheels repaired and one new one and he had spare for when it happened again. New wheels from BMW were £500 ish and apparently they sell a lot of them.
