Worst kerbed wheels you have seen
Discussion
Just driven through Gloucester and while stopped at the lights I started studying a white Rangie. I couldn’t believe the state of this, complete with ditch finder tyres with chunks taken out.
The rear wheel was the same and I’d hazard a guess both on the other side were in the same state!

What's the point of any decent tyres or wheels at the moment...??
Cars have to be fit for the road and road worthy...
But the roads don't have to be fit for cars (or other vehicles..)
Pot holes are just mental at the moment... and getting worse especially where Gloucestershire roads go across the county boundaries... Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Oxfordshire etc...

I can’t see how you could beat that. Every mm is damaged. The rear wheel was the same and I d hazard a guess both on the other side were in the same state!

True, but nothing to do with kerbed wheel example the OP put Cars have to be fit for the road and road worthy...

People say "don't stereotype" but white Range Rover with blacked out gills, wheels etc. (I'd bet the windows were tinted too) having badly kerbed wheels as the driver is crap!
Any company car parked in our works car park. I took the car allowance, but most people got a new company car every three years. They would talk about it endlessly, how they were "going to get the T ROC, they are beautiful"
You would then see it in the carpark a year or two later, every wheel kerbed to death, never been washed, the interior looking like a childs playpen in a cheche, sides looking like a rake had been dragged down the side.
Then they would leave and it would be parked up for a few months until someone new started and they "inherited" the health hazard. You could see they were literally counting down the days until it went back to the lease company and they could pick their own car, and most likely treat it the same way.

Oddly, no the windows weren’t tinted! Driven by an elderly Indian gentleman who could barely see over the steering wheel…which probably accounts for the state of the wheels!People say "don't stereotype" but white Range Rover with blacked out gills, wheels etc. (I'd bet the windows were tinted too) having badly kerbed wheels as the driver is crap!

The fact that those started out as diamond cut wheels, means they have been refurbed/resprayed (as previously pointed out) - one owner car? The rear wheel was the same and I d hazard a guess both on the other side were in the same state!
