Is that car actually in use. If so fix the tire and take it for a car wash!

That is the topic of an ongoing joke.... 
I was going ~50. It let go with warning so as soon as I heard chunks hitting the wheel well I pulled over. Most of the carnage is actually the result of limping it a under 5mph down the road in the dirt

Dam James, that sucks! How old were those tires on there anyway?
Hope you can get those wheels fixed cause they look great with your car and are so rare.

Those tires were basically new. I got them from a friend but he never had them mounted. They were a couple years old with low miles

No the wheel is fine for the most part. I drove really slow down the road in the dirt to my friends parents house. I have a lof of scratches in the clear coat (maybe powdercoat?) and a few nicks in the wheel from rocks and such in the grass. I'm going to put the GTA wheels on it for now and I think I will shop for a pair of tires for the rear and I will keep the front ones.
Looks like I need to roll the quarter lips, get matching koni yellows for the rear of the car and hook the sway bars up. I made a left off the ramp from the highway and I heard a noise from the RR of the car so I am guessing I hit the quarter on the tire and I spun a little there too. All in all not a good combination for the tire 
Cars dont like me and RR tires, Solstice got a 3" bolt in the tire a few months back......

No the mold, moss and trees counter the emissions from the engine! It is my way of being eco friendly

Ahh so your making fresh O2 for the engine.. BRILLANT!
BTW I never did anything with the WOT tuning. Idle, off idle, some AE and decell. Thats about it really. There is more left in your car. I wish mine ran as good as yours. heh.. One of these days.
