Not mine I should add but a local E9x M3 (v8). Reckon that was caused by a wet road and an enthusiastic right foot myself. Shame

This thread needs a warning - Pics of an open wound would be less distressing :cry:

The way the paints cracked looks like more than damaged paint-that spoke could be split :(
New wheel time I suspect :headbang:

Pic quality hasn't come out quite as I had expected.
No, it won't buff out.
Yes, it is distressing.
Yes, a new wheel will be required. It's taken a good portion of the actual rim off and the tyre was flat. Still, the guy had moved the car by the next morning so I guess a low-loader turned up at some point.
Expensive slide if that is what it was.
