Not even a "Oh ****" or nothing. I would be careful with that video if you're gonna claim it on insurance. Might wanna hide it til after. Good job keeping control of it though.

I had the same thing happen to a HP evo of mine as well about 5 years ago. The common thing isn't an HP evo wheel, it's a cast 19x9.5" rim with 30 series tires on them. Cast wheels crack and break where a forged wheel would bend.
