Damn! new shoes yesterday and car crash today. On my way to the wheel shop for a little adjustment and here come this truck on the wrong side of the road. AHHHHHHHHHH SH........., BOOM! My baby has a black eye. I was able to swerve to the right but still got clipped. The lady behind me got the worst, head on. It was like my new wheels had a target on them and he got me in the 10 ring.

I'll post pictures later after a few beverages

That's no cool at all, I hope the damage isn't that bad. I had a similar story with my TE37 on my IS, I waited 6 months for them and a week after I got them on, someone clipped me on the rear quarter panel and it also damage the wheel, so I feel your pain.

This is the truck that got me. Damage isn't to bad but one wheel is destroyed like boxings rep after the Paciao fight...... rear door and quarter panel took a hit but the Boxter got the worst.

Very nice wheel choice and car looks great! I know you are unhappy your car was hit and I would be too new wheels or not.
