Default Broken Wheel, Anyone had this problem (Pics)
I was on my way home the other day. Took the corner and my car started to shake and then started to drift. I did a 180 and hit the curb broadside. Right front wheel broke with the center still attached to the car. Anyone experience anything like this or have any info on this?

Than sux, glad you're okay. Thats what happens when metal hits concrete, concrete wins. i've seen several rims break like that after impact with a curb, rock, ditch.......

Missing a lot of info. I'm assuming it wasn't raining and the street was free of dust, debris, sand, dirt etc. Assuming so, how fast were you taking the turn, did you downshift upshift, was there any loss of power or sudden acceleration and of course was your VDC on or off.

Yeah that impact looks like it happened with some force, the wheel came off and the nissan emblem with 1/4 of the spokes and the lugs are in tact. WOW

I wouldn't fault the wheel for getting destroyed due to an impact so I don't see how this would have been a Problem.

I'm sorry to see what happened but I'm glad you're ok

Wheels will break like that if you hit the lip area of the rim with enough force.

Glad you're okay, but your biggest problem is not the wheel judging from the pictures.
