Go back to where ya bought em and sort it with them if their are no marks on the wheels then it would appear to be that the wheels were of poor quality and unsafe to sell to a customer

You got a pic?
Lets face it a wheel wont bend for no reason mate
If it bent without hitting a pot hole, then they'd have to be mega soft/flexible..
Best course of action is to find a pot hole... take photos and send it to the council with the bill for a new wheel...
Next time buy some stronger wheels

your unlikely to get anything out of the council cause they will check there road inspection dates after you have given them the date of the incident and tell you that they had sone evrything within the powers to ensure that the roads are up to standard......:Boggle:
