I can't tell on the car, but the wheel looks late '90s aftermarket.

She said it was a sudden blow-out. The tires are 4 months old.
Obviously it's a FWD car, but that low moulding on the door is throwing me

i;m going pontiac sunfire just on the shade of purple and because I don't recall PT cruisers having a molding

you may not recall them looking exactly like that, but by now they all do.

Not an alero, but good guess. FWD, probably domestic, probably a sedan, looks very GM-esque. I've seen that lower molding, but can't place it.

That side strip is higher on stratii and sebrings, that was my first thought.

That's my guess because that's the only car I ever see with those wheels. Who thought they looked good?

The tires are obviously Dunlops. When I had the blowout on the RX-7, it was as if the entire outer sidewall had vaporized.

Dodge Neon?

Not a pt or a neon for sure. That low moulding is hard to place.

Not a PT. It's a rear wheel, and you would be able to see the weird fender shape and tail light if it was.

FYI guys, you're looking at a right rear wheel. see: brake drum.

I want to say Honda Accord but the moulding is still too low for that.
