    I don't know if I have ever seen a bolt circle welded into the face of a wheel, not saying they don't exist but I don't think I have ever seen it.
    I haven't either. I was just thinking that might be attractive from a manufacturing perspective (on cheap, shit wheels).

    Brake rotor looks like it has some heat marks. Were the pads dragging? If so, the heat might have played a factor in the failure?

    Have you checked the other 3 wheels?

    It's not the size that matters, it's the taste it leaves in your mouth.

    Bad welds. Chinese wheel. Corrosion/bad welds.

    Need better pics.

    definitely shitty welds, maybe combined with some curbing...

    Nothing to do with lug torque

    Only other possibility might be the wrong wheels and it was dragging on the caliper scoring the inside of the wheel creating a weak spot.
    Steel wheels are full stamped centres/faces and welded to the barrel. The is no welds on the centre so it is not that for sure.

    Yeah that area is stamped. This has to be a metallurgical failure of some kind, so crazy!

    I'd pull the others see if it's happening to others. Unlikely but who knows.

    Glad she was okay. How old are those steelies? According to the above article, if my reading comprehension is right this morning, this happens when they are very old/used and/or if they've been beat to hell due to 'spirited driving'.

    Is there any other way to drive a Ford Edge other than spiritedly? So you can get out of it ASAP without anyone seeing you.

    I always love the "spirited driving" or "hard acceleration" parts in these stories as if that puts even a fraction of the stress into a wheel compared to ____________. You know, that other thing everyone does?

    Maybe braking? 0-100 times don't matter to Buster or to stress. But 100-0 times sure matter to stress.
