Negative, no pics of his car. But, I do have 2 pieces of his wheel that I picked up from the ground and threw it in my trunk for souvenirs. His right front wheel exploded into pieces,

I know the toe link, knuckle, lower control arm, and possibly the rear suspension cradle is damaged. Pretty bad

Took the wheel to a shop to get the tire dismounted yesterday. They should bring it back to me tomorrow and then I'll send some pics to Simple Wheel Werks. **Keeping my fingers crossed**

Suspicious in WA, but not in CA. Theres a wheel shop in every corner, so competition between businesses is good for consumers! =)

So a question for you wheel gurus, since it seems like a lot of you think that the wheel should be able to be fixed. Not sure if I'm jumping the gun or geting my hopes up, but if they can in fact rebarrel the wheel, does that mean I could buy something with a bigger lip or maybe widen the wheel from a 10" to an 10.5"? Not sure if I completely understand the process of rebarrelling, but was thinking that if I'm going to pay to get this work done, if I should try and make the most of it.

Yup thanks AJ, just gotta make the best of the situation. I've been in contact with Mike and am trying to decide on some Mega arms, toe links, and stuff
