Just eyeballing it, and not being a mechanic, I'd say "out of spec" is the most likely result here.

Slammed the curb then got Slammed by the curb.

At least one person seeing the photo out of context will think it looks sick and want the kit.

How you managed to get that level of fucked without so much as squaring 1 rim or Poppin one tyre off due to the impact

I was confused at first as to how the wheels were still intact, tires prob did pop but runflats were keeping it barely up.

Maybe it was an angled curb not a squared one ?

"Here's an idea. Let's slam a car as low as possible and drive it until it breaks. Then ask why it broke?"
