Yesterday me and a mate were driving were driving form Sydney to Brisbane. Got about 20 mins from Syd on the F3 when we hit a reasonable sized piece of a chep pallet. Was about 5:30am, i shudder to wonder what would have happened if their were more cars around us.... It was the side board of the pallet the thicker bit.
Managed to keep it off the rock wall in the middle, we were in the far right lane, car stopped about 5 inches from the road barrier. This is the end result. 2 Smashed RHS wheels and 2 shagged tyres Oh and a cpl of pairs of new undies

Dont look like genuine wheels with the multifit stud holes.

The wheel pictured is the rear, worst hit. Split around 80% diameter only split all the way getting off tilt tray. Front had a 6x6' chunk out of it and it was lodged in the front suspension
