Nothing against Rota's...I've seen more expensive rims do the same thing on curbs.
Couple in person (Advans) and a few rally video's I've seen.
The fenders are probably tweeked and that's why you are getting the gaps. All it would take is a little bit of rubbing from the tire during the impact to knock the fenders out of whack.

If I had a show car, then I'd probably go for a $2000 set of rims

the car is far from totaled. The brake rotor looks like its still on one piece Will the car drive the same sure...but your ego no, its like having a girlfriend cheat on you. Sure she loves you, but you know something is wrong.
Yea I agree the pictures only tell half the story. Sorry about your loss and maybe you can help prevent an accident like this happening again.
