oh, about 3 miles from home after work I notice a vibration.
I pull over on a side street, get out, and do a quick walk around.
Everything seems ok.
It gets real bad about 1.5 miles out. I drive nice n slow.
Turning the right hand corner from Wellsbranch onto Wellsport something bad happens

Luckily I was only going bout 10 miles an hour at this point.
I ran home two blocks and loaded up the 9C1 w/ my harbor freight jack, tire iron, and 'spare'.
When I got back the sheriffs dept was already there w/ lights on.
I got it taken care of.

even more perplexing, I never hit a curb w/ those rims nor have I used them for track days. Just plane ol street rims I've had for years. Yep, chromed 9.5" sawblade rims on my C4. Guess I'm on the lookout for some new ones although this time I may go ZR1 style. I have two matching 17x8.5" spare rims to use, but I think I'd rather just get a different set.
