Look at what me and my mate did to a 17" MO last night!
Don't ask
The outside of the wheel with tyre intact!
Rest of the car!
Car is easily fixable, nothing too mega. We were lucky on three counts though! The curb was slanted, if it was vertical we would of gone onto the roof I think!
The back end just missed a curb, think that would of launched us too.
We went over the curb onto some grass, and just missed a big lampost with my side of the car!
No injuries, only a bit of bent metal

That whell must of dissapated some serious energy....!
Funny thing was even though its the passenger wheel that was whacked, the edge of the wheel and the tyre overtook us on the drivers side and flew into a bush

even though there may be some damage under there it wont be anywhere near as bad as if the wheel didnt give up.

I haven't seen another wheel fail like this before though!! In my experiance they usally buckle/distort rather than fracturing.
