Untorqued wheel broke off - need to replace?

If you Google wheel brand/model, sometimes you can find it for sale. Somewhere. Shops buy wheels and never sell all of them.

It’s time to start looking for a better shop, for future work.
I only go to dealers for warranty work, recalls, OEM parts (mainly before there was online shopping), or if an unusual problem cropped up.

This is the sort of thing that happens when you hear noises from your car and ignore them. Every tire shop in my area tells you to return in 50 miles and everyone including me ignores them.

The Valvoline oil change shop prints a warning to return after 50 to recheck torque whenever they rotate tires. An independent shop may not do so, though.
