^ +1 i call that he was going 25pmh when he hit that pothole. ive read the thread on a couple different forums and everyone seems to think the same thing that he was going way faster than 25mph or else there would have been more damage to the wheel/car then what was posted in the pic

No way is 25mph gonna do that much damage unless you hit a curb sideways.

Maybe the wheel structure was weakened by the bbs center caps

Someone was tokyo drifting it up in the parking structure trying to become the next DK. I believe the BBS centercap on them is extra proof.

I doubt that happened at 25 mph. Either his tire was flat(which based on the pic it wasnt) or I call BS. His tire is still intact, and that rim still stayed on, which makes no sense.
