'I have a Mitsubishi Evolution VI GSR running around 300hp and was on a spirited drive. As I turned, quite sharply into a large roundabout, this occured, with no impact or collision.'

The immense eliteness of the evo caused that rather than the wheel being weak.

I think I read that before, it ended up being the powdercoating processed used I believe - far too high baking temps or something.

Pretty damn scary though

How the fuck did the wheel not come completely off!?

Also, I'm once again reminded of that kid years ago, who put a hacksaw to his BBS's cause he'd rounded a bolt.
The outcome looked something like this.

Whatever the actual reason, the coating is going to get the blame.
