I SAW SPARKS AND HEARD MORE GRINDING NOISES. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AS I PULLED TO SHOULDER, IT WAS APPARENT WHAT HAD HAPPENED, MY WHEELS JUST FELL APART. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES A POLICE OFFICER STOPPED BY AND CALLED A WRECKER. THE FOLLOWING DAY I REPLACED THE DAMAGED SEVAS S-10 WHEELS WITH MY FACTORY WHEELS AND REALIZED JUST HOW BAD IT COULD'VE BEEN. THE WHEELS WERE COMPLETELY SEVERED THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE WHEELS TOGETHER WERE THE TIRES, WHICH THEMSELVES WERE BADLY DAMAGED. THE INCIDENT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TPMS, LEFT REAR STRUT AND GASHES IN THE WHEELS WELLS AND UNDERBODY CARRIAGE. *TR
