Sucks man Sorry to here the bad news. Time to get a aristo i guess. That way you could just swap the mods you made and get 1 more wheel and be set once again. Good luck on your new car search....Is it fixable???

Looking at the damage, especially the suspension, that car will be a total loss by the insurance. Collect all of your receipts and pricing GS300's in pristine condition to ensure the highest payout for your vehicle. Man, so sorry this happened.

sorry to see that. Looking at the pictures it appears there is definitely suspension damage too. Hope it all gets sorted out in your favor.

yeah car was just parked there..about to eat dinner and I heard the loud crash and pop of the tire...these folks were old too, like 80 or more. They went to the hospital.

But yeah just washed the car the night before and full tank of gas.

The Broken Rim is a bad image for us car lovers..I'll try to post pics of the broken lip pieces.
