I am very suprised your suspension is ok there, when i whacked mine both left wheels were pushed under the car but the damage on the wheels were nothing compared to that.

What wheels are they? They must be utter shite quality

why dont you get an opinion from someone who actually repairs alloys rather than taking peoples opinions of here?

I would send that back straight away. A wheel shouldn't do that, especially not a Kahn. Surely your suspension should have given first. Definately send it back and I'm sure you get a replacement.

wow thats amazing,

thats not repairable, but like others have said there should be no chance an alloy could ever do that,

i would send the picture to Kahn and see what they say.
