Bad luck mate. Got a 8" scrape on my spare now after not paying attention and catching a wheel on a angled curb. If it was normal i would have got away with it.....

 

[chris-b]

[davebem]

Which was why I was so gutted about mine yesterday. Crawled out of a tight space (well for a V6) at 1mph ... no noise ... no vibration thru the steering wheel. Thought Id got out fine ... until I noticed otherwise last night

Fred ... assume its a case of getting the wheel to you ... rather than you to the wheel?

think I hit the kerb at about 5-10 mph,it looks a lot worse than it does in the photo,deep gouges on the spokes.
