Alloys damaged again . POTHOLES !!!

I have already moaned about damaging one alloy in a pothole. £100 repair bill from BMW body shop. Now I have damaged another one twice in 10 days.
Definitely not curbed them.
A lot of potholes in North Cheshire area.
Mine are 18" alloys.
How are you getting on with your 18/19" alloys ?
And before you comment, I already wear glasses. There are just too many deep potholes everywhere to avoid them.
My wife's Lexus IS 250 on16" alloys never seems to get damaged.
I am not bothering getting this alloy repaired at the present time, I'll be spending £100 every few weeks at this rate.
I must admit this 328 is the first car I have had with run flats and I think that there are far more disadvantages than advantages with them. Too noisy, too unforgiving, the car 'crashes' into potholes, too expensive to replace , punctures can't be repaired etc.
Not many advantages.
You've heard it all before.
