yer just the one they are so lucky, hitting it at 110 on a highway, could have done so much damage.
It fell off the back on the truck in front of them, they swerved but just hit it. |

Ouch, did you get the details of the driver of the truck. Ideally the driver and or company should pay for a new wheel, tyre and wheel alignment if needed.

Photo of the plank of wood?
Plank implies a greater dimension in one plane than the other when viewed from the cross section... But yeah, any photos? (I love wood)...

Why isn't this in the e-series section? It's not a wheel from an AU.
Looks like a whole new set of wheels may be required.
