I had to double check when I saw the photo, as it looks a totally different colour to the wheels in your sig.
Must just be the light in the close up.

When you know that your stuck - and going forward or backwards is going to be equally as bad for the wheel!

It is so effing awful when it happens. You feel so helpless and so peeved off.
Been there, done it many times, got/worn/lost all the bloody tea/tee shirts!

:cry:

Not happy, i went to a little village today to price a job up and an Artic was trying to get through the parked cars,
I pulled over to let him weave through, as he was getting upto me i could see that if i stayed where i was he was going to take the full side of my car out,
Only choice i had was to mount the kerb  :angry: :angry:



thats exactly what happened to my alloys- thou the extent of damage was minor.  sorry mate.  the sound from the alloys was the worst feeling i've had- you just knew you'd f'd the wheels.

luckily they were replaced when i had my crash.

Yep.. similar to what i though i.e. thats not poorly... thats foooooked :laugh:

tbf to Neil its often hard to see from pictures how much those rims stick out. If you struggle to keep your monzas kerb free, then you have no chance with those sexy rims!! :embarassed:
