I really hope the OP comes back to explain some details. This is the most bizarre damage I have seen done to the OEM GS wheels yet...aside from the crazy powder coating incident.

I want to know what happened!!!!! About your point Ray, this man will learn a huge life lesson from posting this info and making it available to the public like this. This is the reason why I think this is a sham.

There was a post indicating accident hitting barrier OP never returned to dispute. Seems more likely than the multi wheel implosion he’s alluded to.
closing for now unless said poster appears to add additional info.
stay safe all !
