Fractured wheel!

[Mean Cat]

Cooler didn't get me, but maybe can of something. Going about 40 at that point

Oh ok, something out of the cooler

 

[Mean Cat]

Ahhhhh! The dreaded cooler strike. I’m lucky to have not encountered that yet.

What ? you haven't buzzed the beach b4 ? ... then you're flying too high then.

If it was a can of Twisted Tea, I could believe that…

Dang hard tea!

I will say that, when we do fly overs during Summer holiday weekends, I always fly low enough to see if there are any free spirited females out sunbathing on the boats.

I cannot legally say how low that is, but it’s a required check in my opinion.

I haven’t seen it on a stock (forged) wheel, but a friend had a set of Bogart, forged racing wheels in which one had a spoke crack similar to yours. Bogart warrantied it. See if Dodge will warranty yours. That’s a big safety issue.

I fully endorse that attention to "detail"!

How many miles on that wheel JRabq?

 

[AeroF16]

I was just regurgitating crap I think I remember from engineering school, I think @BULL will probably have a good explanation for this.

I’ve seen cast wheels fail at the spoke and hub connection, never seen a forged wheel fail across the barrel though.

Did you buy this car new? Just asking because who knows what a previous owner could’ve done to a wheel previously.

 

[JRabq]

I bought the car used from the local albuq dealer with about 7k miles. November, 2018.
31k miles on it now.

Do you know if the wheels have the OEM stamping on the inside? Believe it’s on one of the spokes on these wheels.

I think that’s the best way to tell if they’re OEM, from what I know. Plus, if they were an after market cast wheel, they’d be damn heavy.

The wheel in question has stamping. I had 4 such oem wheels from time of car purchase. My rears now are pk 10.5s
Have oem wheels from rear in garage, plus another pair of same oem wheels i bought from forum member a while back. So, my plan now is to put one of those oem pairs up front and call it a day.

 

[JRabq]

I really appreciate the rapid feedback. You guys are too cool!

Assuming many things, allowing for more, my best guess is that it's simply a bad forging.

Build up of stress and pop goes the weasel.

I'm kind of reading through my eyelids right now and only thinking with one of my two functional/useful brain cells, so I could be missing the obvious.

@JRabq sounds like you have this covered, but just in case I have two extra wheels and a buddy of mine works at Discount Tire so let me know if you run into any issues. Good luck!

 

[JRabq]

Thanks alot. I do think I have it covered, but kinda a PIA. Which discount tire?

On Alameda just above the Cottonwood Mall area...

I think the “option” was purely a different color finish on the same wheel. Could be wrong though.

I remember reading up on the wheel choices when ordering the '19, and think there was more to it than a color difference.

Also recall reading about the differences on the old forum. Besides, even by Hellcat option standards, $1K for only paint is a bit steep.

Does that wheel show made in Norway on the back? I seem to remember that some were made in another place. Mine is Norway.
