Ofcourse this happens 2 weeks before FCS..

Was on my way picking up my girlfriend in our beloved capitol of Brussels.

Had to move to the side because someone was double parked. Wasn't even driving that fast, thankfully, or I would have lost atleast one tyre too..

The damage (left front wheel + the same damage for the left rear wheel)

The sound it made, almost made me cry. It hit it so hard that even the tyres had marks on them from the tram rail. Took lots of pictures and I'm going to send it to my insurance.

These are quite strong wheels, the piece of metal that sticks out is so hard, I can't even move or break it off.
 
So it's not just us with pot holes problems!

That sucks! Hope you get sorted out with new ones!
 
I will never complain again about the state of the roads in the UK having been to Romania to visit by my girlfriends family. The roads over there are awful! That wheel does look pretty buggered though. :| Like you said not great timing either.
 
That sucks. Hopefully you can get replacements quickly
 
I was expecting this to be another wheel disaster from Chicken again :lol:

That must have been one hell of an impact to break the alloy like that though!! Surprising.

I'm not the only one that has this problem.

Hitting a pothole sucks at the best of times especially when it causes damage like that. Hope you can get it sorted ASAP
 
That thing looks like someone trying to dig to Japan. Christ that's a massive pothole!!! Hope you get it sorted pal!
