People underestimate the danger a tire and rim have when its traveling that fast..."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Years ago I was sitting at a red light at 82 and 75 here in Sherman on my bike, and had a tire/wheel combo go flying past me, through the intersection and into the embankment under the over pass.
Pants shitting fright! That thing was moving fast as fuck, a jeep lost it coming up the off ramp.Matts1911SA - XBox Live Gamertag

My wife and I were headed to Mineral Wells from Stephenville when a trailer lost both drivers side rims/tires. If you have ever driven that road you know there is no escaping anything on coming. The first one hit us head on and deployed airbags, bent hood, and broke the windshield. The second one hit the passenger front finder and ripped the drive shaft out of the transmission. We were sideways for a good while. Thankful we weren't t-boned by an oncoming vehicle.
I will look and see if I can find the pictures

Back in like 01 I was working for the KTM shop in Waco and we were doing the east coast super
cross series in the 125 class. We had a f350 and a 3 axle 44ft trailer with all the bikes, tools etc inside. We stopped somewhere on the way to Indy for fuel and while doing a walk around noticed that a wheel off the back axle came off hub and all. I still shudder to think that it may have hit somebody. It was the middle of the night and no telling where it happened.Originally posted by soapi can fix anything from a broken tractor to an aching pussy!!!
