Its an aftermarket speedline turini wheel. Would that be stronger than a manufacturers wheel? I think it might be but not sure

Kerbs are fucking hard, hitting one at any speed is going to cause damage.

I was pushing hard out of a rouandabout onto a duelcarridge way and I lost it, hit the off side kerb, sild across the road and hit the nearside kerb, then slid to a stop on the offside in a right hand turning lane, with no traffic around at all I think I was a lucky boy!

My fault lack of talent!

Oh I ran 20 foot on the RS4 disks too, and the calipers were damaged

I knew you'd be here soon. Surely with Quattro you shouldn't be crashing anyway.
