Damn that sucks! Sorry for your loss, but looks like you walked away from it. Cars can be replaced, you can't!

That sucks! Why did the tire blowout? Was it a defective wheel problem or was it just something you might have run over? The tires look pretty new.

rim looks like it broke. you might want to try and find out if there is a problem with those rims breaking, might be able to get some money out of it.
glad you're okay. what happened to the car afterwards? did you sell it?

By the looks of those pictures, you went for a REALLY WILD RIDE. I know the car took the worst of it, but it looks like those small trees helped to absorb some of the impact that a solid object would not have given. Glad your OK!

Holy crap. Glad you're ok, that is most important.
Rims don't just break. I'm sure the tire probably had damage you might not have even known about. A nail, sidewall damage from a bad pothole, etc.

He just had the rims and tires put on a few weeks before the accident. Matt you were on 55 right going to camden? This happened when they were repaving the road and the left lane was higher then the right lane. Maybe you switched lanes and that caused the tire to come off of the rim? What happened with the car? Did you get any money for it or from insurance?

I have too, but not in that area (I’m looking at the break in the rim itself that runs parallel with the rim lip/drop center – we could be looking at different things). Usually cracks develop around the hub, or spokes in poorly designed wheels (only saw that once). And in hub damage cases it is often due to failure to re-torque lugs on new aluminum wheels – an absolute must. I am speaking about non-impact injury.
Now on heavy impact, especially with short sidewall tires, I’ve seen large chunks torn out of rims. But that was secondary damage cause by impact, not the other way around. That is the downside of short tire sidewalls; even one good pothole can destroy the inside of the tire, bend and even break a rim. Damage to the inside sidewall of a tire may not manifest itself until many miles later. In most cases a bubble grows in the sidewall. But it can just let loose w/o warning. Poorly performed tire repairs can do the same thing.
