More likely with lowered suspension and lower profile tyres. Mine on 18s will hit the ground with a trail of sparks before the suspension bottoms out hard enough to break anything. On 19s or 20s there is a lot less give in the tyre so once the tyre and suspension have compressed as far as they can there is nowhere for the force to go. The other one I've seen with this sort of damage (not the same place, but same cause) is on 20s. Even standard cars have the cracks in the sound deadening though.
It welded back together very nicely - its nice clean thick metal up there. No road schmutz or oxidisation in the alloy as its been well protected from the elements.
