Hey guys. Thanks for the replies.
When the pothole damage was originally seen to I called the AA out and they inspected the suspension, track rods, etc.
The tyre pressures are fine.
There is no pull, no vibration, and this has only changed since I replaced the 18's for 17's. The AA guy managed to get the wheel back somewhere near and hold pressure on the least affected wheel and I had a full size spare so I drove it for another 3 weeks after the pothole and it went down again. On the 18's even after the pothole strike I had no problems that I'm having now. The wheels I've got now were inspected and have no damage (bit rough with the lacquer peel, but not really relevant).
Is there any chance that the tracking is out? Like the rake of the wheels in regard to the road, maybe the toe in-out?
