Came out to the car after putting air in it the previous night, and it was almost on the ground....was holding reasonable pressure for a week or so. Decided to take the very short trip to the petrol station to put are in, but it was f**ked.
On inspection of the wheel, there was a buckle in it, but dont know it was there already or happened in the process of driving the car to the petrol station and up the small bump from the road onto the path.
Repair + refurb versus OEM wheel, are my thoughts!
