Red face Re: Bogart font wheel busted flew off car.

For the record:
We just had the wheels off the car ( 2 minutes before this happened!)
We cleaned & inspected them when checking the brakes.
We had no air leak.
No shake or indication that the wheel was going to fail.
The crack was hidden under the silicone that was over the weld.

I'm not looking for justification on this. I'm just thankful no one was hurt.
I just thought people should know about this.

THE WHEELS DO TAKE A POUNDING!
Please take a look at your wheels.It just might save your life.

Would anyone consider vintage Cragar S/S or Keystone Klassics safe to run today?

Likely so...those were heavy/thick wheels intended for street use.
