Just returning from delivering No.3 child into town only to meet a tractor and trailer exiting a right-hand bend. The tractor was moving quite rapidly, so much so that the trailer bounced sideways into my path 
I managed to avoid the projecting bits of machinery by jinking left only to catch what must have been the only stretch of kerbing along that bit of country lane! 
Results below....
Both front and rear near-side wheels badly scuffed. On close inspection it seems mostly powder coat and lacquer damage but the alloy is gouged in places. Hopefully a refurb can correct and restore them.
How can I best tidy them up and protect them until I get them sorted?
Perhaps this is what I need to push myself to get those new 'summer only' alloys!
These refurbed wheels could then be fitted with winter tyres.
Still, an experience I could have done without......
