Fuckface   
Got my new wheels on it literally 3 days ago too.   
Not even had the chance to put pics of them onto my computer, then this shit happens. 
 
Rear passenger side wheel is bent to fuck (pointing the wrong way round) and the front one is buckled and bent too. 
Some other technical jibby jobby has been snapped too, cross member i think? 
The guy towing it said it would've pushed the driveshaft through the gearbox so thats fubar'd too. 
 
Plus there are going to be so many tiny scratches on the rear. 
 
so............ 
to sum it up, crash, bang, walla walla bing bang   
 
Pics of when we just put them on.   
OZ Superleggera III, 3 piece split rims. 
 
  
  
 
Bent wheels and snapped something...

It was a beautiful night.  The rain had just stopped and the skies were clear.  It felt right to go out for a leisurely drive after work... 
 
Wet roads, coming off a roundabout, lost control from the rear. 
As you do, you try to control it.  I did, then i didn't    it suddenly snapped back, then sent me going backwards.  Twatted the kerb sideways, then went over it and down into a hedge backwards.

As dave mentioned, the big roundabout at wickes/peugeot. 
I got breathalysed, which was cool (never done it before)   
And the policeman let me ride in his van   
 
He called me a shit driver too, which i can't complain to, but we had a good joke about it.  Lucky the car kept me and my brother fine.  Not even any bruises or anything
