Just hit a kerb in the escort, not just a tap, like a big launch one side of the car in the air

only just bought that tyre too, probably have to get a new wheel too, unless alloys can be hammered out like steel wheels. Might try that

thats the 2nd time in 10yrs i've had to change a wheel by the roadside, did it in record time

anyone watching would of been impressed

Reminds me of what a mate did a few years ago in his escort in the snow.

We were all sat around and he decided to get in his car and have a "play" in the snow. Some one said "How long until he hiss something", Before he had finished the sentence my mate had hit the kerd and put a huge dent in the wheel (Bigger than the one in hte pic).

Think his was a similar wheel style to that aswell!
