Was driving to get a nail taken out my tyre when, it must have got too flat or something, the inside edge has come out of the alloy and been cut to pieces by the coilover!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GIVE UP WITH MY CAR!!!

Yep you could say that was only doing 40 , cant imagine going faster, that split goes all round the tyre, where it caught the coilover!
