What a mad photo! Still, a circular piece of glass and you've got a perfect coffee table, with a story!

Looks sore.

Have you contacted manufacturer?

They may be interested in looking at the remains of the rim.

I'd say that's a manufacturing fault - Catastrophic failure! Get in touch with Compomotive mate.

One of my favorite looking wheels on a scoob. Is (sorry WAS) it an 18 incher?

You got any piccies of the car with them on b4 the accident?

I'd refurbish them and stick them in the for sale section!

Give one of the vultures a bargain!

It's obviously the compomotives (failure) fault you spun in the first place, get on to them for damages.

Weenie, how did the spin happen ?
If one of those spokes let go mid-corner that would do the rest.

The only similar thing I have seen was on a steelie....

Should have gone for forged wheels IMO

Hope no other damage was done though mate!
