Glad you're ok. That could've easily ended up MUCH worse. That said, I'm glad you learned your lesson. Although any wheel would've been damaged in that accident, ones of better materials and build quality wouldn't have exploded like that. They might've been repairable, or at the very least not disintegrate like that, causing an immediate and complete loss of control.

Thanks everybody for seeing that I'm ok. I had my new rim setting in my house for some time now, they been waiting to be powder-coated. I just got a quote from the local powder coating shop, and they said it would cost about $90 a rim the strip my current ****-poor powder coat job, and redo them.
