My mate had wolfrace alloys, snapped the whole rim, spokes and tyre off in one, was still pumped up lol just the bolts and centre left on the hub. No pics though as it was a few years ago lol

This is why I buy oem alloys and avoid potholes.
Plus with 205/40/17 on a 306 its pretty crashy going iver a stone.

That tyre doesn't exactly strike me with confidence of road legality tbh. I can't say i'm surprised a pothole killed it.

Tyres are designed to give before other components. Just some potholes are canyons so destroy all. And as he said the wobbliest steering wheel in the world lol
