I saw this same thing happen at Blytheville a few years ago.
IIRC, aftermarket wheels were rubbing brake calipers and the owner "shaved" down the back of the spokes for clearance. Last edited by Twinz; 07-06-2016 at 06:26 PM. |

I was about to say that it looks like the wheel didn't break but he broke the studs/forgot to tighten the lugs, went and checked the youtube comments before shooting my mouth off and lo and behold:
https://www.facebook.com/JP.virtue/p...57361802220001    This is why people pay lots of money for good wheels or only stick to the proven stuff.

Sounds like the driver has allergies and was doing a lot of sneezing...

Has anyone heard of a stock wheel breaking? Kind of a loaded question but genuinely curious.

This happened up here too. Not the same wheel mfg, but literally broke in the same fashion. Scary to think if you were marshalling at the time.

Just to play devils advocate...
It could be bad metallurgy, a flaw in the manufacturing process. It's hard to find a wheel manufacturer that hasn't had a wheel fail in that way. Also, what is the history of this wheel? Is it new? Is it used? How many miles did it rotate? What conditions does it live through? There's so many possibilities of cause, and you could even analyze some of these with the left over contents.

^^^ Focus ST is not easy on it's front wheels, lots of heat, lots of forces get put into them.
No wheel lasts forever, and the guy mentions in the comments he's in touch with the mfg and is optimistic they will take care of him with a replacement set.
