    Hit a pothole? With that sort of damage, I would be worrying about suspension damage too :(

    I always prefer to call it "driver allowed his car to slid into sunken manhole cover" instead on "car slid into sunken manhole cover":D

    As has been said check suspension components too. Looks very nasty.

    One of my rear wheel caught the corner of a kerb the other day, cost me €190 for a new tyre due to side wall damage and a future trip to an alloy wheel refurbisher. The tyre that came off it only had about 6k miles on it. :mad:

    ..cos they kept breaking whenever you hit a pothole with em.:) Very thin material in a lot of recent alloys - a mare for buckling and breaking. The older '80's ones were a lot sturdier but thats progress..
