Just search for "Tri Cities Peak Putters" on Facebook. I'm mostly solo or with 1 or 2 other rigs, but they do some group outings. This was their run.

Here is the evidence. They are Mopar Classic 5 Spoke wheels which are rebadged AEV Pintlers. I'm NOT saying that they are a bad product, but a bad thing did happen. . . x2. . .all at once.

I don't think my ATX Slabs would do that. It didn't even look like you hit that hard. So what did you do for a fix?

They are supposed to be good wheels though no? And the damage is similar on both wheels suggesting a common failure point. No Bueno.

The one on the front would still hold air at about 12PSI so I put the spare on the front (it is a 33) and the front on the rear and kept wheelin'. . .when I got home, I ordered new wheels. They are Fuel wheels with a better lip. I have heard a few stories about Fuel but not since about 2016.
