that is why evo's come with enkeis and bbs wheels oem. summer or winter, stick to oems.

 

I dunno about that one... , 35mph???? hmmm apply physics to this senario, she looks like she hit the parked car at 35-40mph if the rim snapped it would not cause the car to jerk instanly and maintain that speed. Sorry to hear what happenedbut I am in the market for an Evo 9 Grill and Emblem if your intrested in sell it... Saturday 4am, hmmm, you sure no drinking was involved?

 

The more I look at the pictures, the more I question the fact that the wheel "exploded" before impacting the parked car....

 

am i the only one noticing its missing a lug nut and they look little loose also? and those tires don't look like winter tires at all and fairly bald...just saying..

 

Very true... Sounds fishy now

 

holy crap i just saw those wheels for sale on ebay. that really sucks.

 

are they Magnesium wheels? looks like it. if so i can see that happening, i seen hair line cracks in magnesium do this before, very little warning signs. she was very lucky. Sad that it happened to such a sweet white ix, sorry about her luck.

edit, if it is magnesium and it did have a hair line crack you should be able to find it or where it started, it will be darker right at the very edge .... just from what ive seen.

 

thank god no one was hurt..thats so messed up...atleast now we know about those rims..

 

Ya... I've seen COPS on FOX where the cop flats a front tire on one side and the guy keeps going at 50mph until the rim like, explodes and they keep going straight till something else breaks in the car.

 

Complete BULL****. There is no evidence to put the story with the pictures.

Notice:
1) Gravel in the wheel lug recesses
2) Gravel in the wheel well
3) Missing lug nut
4) The wheel is completely off axis of it's regular position

Someone is trying to pass off a wheel hit hard by a big object as wheel failure. FAIL.

Anyone who knows understands that's not what a wheel failure looks like at speed. In fact everything in the pics supports a collision.

 

Agreed!

 

Were these wheels made in China? Be careful buying aftermarket Chinese wheels because they don't test their wheels or have the safety requirements like the German and Japanese wheel manufacturers. That's not to say that some European manufacturers may have wheels made in China nowadays but at least those have to meet Tuv testing requirements.

 

LOL. Get a detective on the scene.

 

Thats because there is something to at least roll on. Thats like using a windmill as a wheel, not gonna work too well.

 

Should've got Rota's. LOL.

Not getting into the fake wheel vs real wheel debate.

And for the record the amount of carnage for it just have randomly exploded looks almost to crazy to believe.
