Can’t make this stuff up, saw this in a parking lot earlier today, the car had some fender danmage also. I don’t how the rim holds air and the vibration must be awful.

Holy crap! They need to get pulled over.

I did one impromptu “repair” with a mini C-clamp once. But it was just to hold an exhaust flange together while I drove it to the shop…

They were not in any kind of hurry to get to a shop, they were parked in a bowling alley parking lot, lots of tornuments going on inside, guess they were a key bowler

Oh crap!!! I forgot to remove the C clamps after Gorilla gluing the wheel back together… Thanks, I will call them now…  
Don’t worry, I used the 200mph glue…
