I've been trying to find a discussion of this but have failed to do so. Anyone know the brand/model of those wheels the Mazda3s used? I only saw the one incident but I gather from the commentary that both cars went out the same way - at the bottom of the corkscrew, outside front wheel sheared the spokes...

pics of the wheel? At first sound it seems to me that they'd be Either Superleggeras, or possibly Allegritas. I don't know too many of OZ's designs that would shear off.....

Been trying to find something but as far as google is concerned, it seems to have never happened. It was a little crazy seeing that wheel go rolling down the hill. At first I thought it was just a tire that went flat and came off but then you could see little nubs of spokes left on the rim inside.
