Yeah, James lost a Ford GT on the straight too. Full spin and somehow didn't hit the wall. Talk about a brown pants moment.

I'm OK, just mad at myself. No physical damage just emotional lol.

This happened in January so I've had time to come to terms with it.

Man that hurts to see. Good to hear it at least did its job and kept you safe.

If nothing behind the firewall is tweaked it could maybe be saved with a tube front, but that's a lot of work.

Sorry to hear man, you put a lot of efforts into that car but I'm sure you learned a lot at the same time and it was a fun journey too.

Glad you are okay, concrete barriers at any speed are no joke.

Err... so lets say... one of the 19in tires on my prius is F**KED.... and being such a weird size of 195/50R19... it was almost just the same price to pick up a set of 18in used curbed tesla rims with tires ($550)...plenty of tread left on the tires too, just I had to drive 3 hours out to get them... Everything Local was $800 to $1,000.... but since I used the tesla to pick up... the cost of transportation was really just my time...

So here we are... overall size difference according to wheel size calculator is 1.03%

The wheel center caps are ordered from China (arriving in 3 to 5 weeks), $2.40 CAD for 4 including shipping LMAO.. (I just cant afford to spend the $20 on Amazon)



LOOK HOW FLUSH THEY ARE, If i can convince my wife to lower it, it will be *chefs kiss*

I am curious how the bump up in wheel size and tires will impact your fuel economy.

Doesn't he have a Prime? So then zero impact, since they probably plug-in at night, and drive around the city in EV mode.

Bro went from weird 195 width tires to 235.
Probably drop from 70km electric range to like 55.

Take it from somebody who drives around on 155 width tires: it's not worth the tradeoff for the range savings lol. You get it all back at the end of the day anyway!
