Wounded!! Cracked alloy, only had car a week

[Luckytom]

Help managed to crack a speed line st5 20" alloy in 2 places on my a5 sportback. Can't find a replacement anywhere, anywhere in north west you recommend to get it welded?

Circumstances ?

Tyres been going down since I got the car but went over a cat eye on motorway today and it made a dodgy noise. Changed wheel and its cracked in two places. Car got warranty and I reckon it could have been cracked before so hope fully will be replaced. Just edging my bets

To top that the gearbox may be busted, it keeps lurching when you stop. It's a 3.0 tdi with stronic does that sound terminal or will gearbox fluid change/ service sort it.....might end up trying to give the beast back. Pity though I love it

Found out wheel is a 8TO.601.025.W speed line st5 9jx20 w2et29 was the upgraded sline alloy in 2009

Any alloy with a low profile tyre above 18" is vunrable to Britain's perfect roads .
