What the hell did he do to damage three wheels! With HUK parts prices and the car being a new model used these may be pricey! I would consider putting some after market wheels on!

said he was used to driving on the other side of the road ! Only going 15mph but hit curb side on with both pass side wheels. tyres are fine but wheels are badly scratched. I think i only need to replace one though, after some thought, and may get wicked wheels to come and sort the other one out...

very very annoyed !!

So this chap broadsided your car into the kerb As well as some new wheels, i'd get the car laser aligned as soon as possible, as even the slightest knock with throw the suspension adjustment out.

Do you want the factory wheels again?

You might find an aftermarket set that don't look afermarket and look better/are lighter than the factory ones.

PS - I didn't realise the French hated us THAT much!

My dealer quoted me about 1200 quid for a set (without tyres), I emailed Hardtop guy to see if they could supply them but have not heard anything back..


I hope your french 'Friend' is going to pay for the replacements!!

You have one of 3 distinct choices IMHO:

1) Get a replacement set of Hondas
2) Get a set of aftermarkets like Volks TE37s but they are pricey
3) Get some bling daddys like JamieS2k

The choice is yours and get the french friend to pay
