very impressive, remember that 1 tonne of engine bearing down on the front hubs when you hit a kerb with your wheel has way more energy than hitting with a pipe when the wheel is off the car..... it's kind of a good effect but not really realistic.
however that first test was superb.

Brand new wheels from the Schmidt range will set you back £1000+.
I'm not sure of the price of radinox dishes for the likes of BBS splits though.
