HOLY BALLS DUDE!!
Waiting for a tow truck at this very moment. I can't believe how ****in bad these ROH wheels are and dangerous! Lucky for me I was driving straight at only 30mph when the rim exploded!
WOW man, that's crazy... did you hit a pot hole or anything or did it just let go?
Either way, the plus side is that you can now get some rims that you actually like.

Yes the tire lost air pressure. I haven't looked too close but the tire seems reusable so far.
I've had my eye on a set of rims but wasn't ready to take on that cost. I'm seriously considering borrowing @GroverDill 's set of wheels (very generous of him) to get me by while waiting on new wheels and dealing with Group A wheels for reimbursement.
I also may have screwed up my towing. Hagerty will not reimburse, you must call them for roadside service. I called the tow truck myself. I should've read the policy better. My fault.
A picture of my commute before the failure, it's a beautiful day!
Is it safe to assume you'll be borrowing the 98 Cobra wheels and not the True Forged? 
The cobras will fit but you might want a small spacer up front and if the tire is a 275 or bigger in the rear you might get some rubbing, I know I did. That said, they do look really good on a fox, but they still won't fit perfect with your IRS.

245's all the way around on the Cobra wheels.
the TF have 255 fronts and 295 rears, we could do a test fit.
I'd take the Cobra's, it's evident my 302 puts out big time torque and might hurt your True Forge wheels.
. I can't even believe that happened like that
If the rears are 10" wide I can pretty much assure you they won't fit with his IRS unless they have a really low offset in which case they will stick WAY out of the fenders... but might be fun to try it and show people how much wider the IRS really is.
I believe Joe's storage wheels are only 17x8 all around with 245's. Shouldn't be a problem until I order me some wheels.
These guys are wanting me to ship the wheel to them so they can "investigate" the cause of failure. Seriously? There is somebody else I'm supposed to talk to in order to get a RMA#. I'll talk to him about WHO i think should be paying for shipping. However, I do think pictures are worth a thousand words in this case as far as who is liable.
They are, I ran the same thing on mine for a while... I was referring to his TF wheels.
GroupA Wheels issued me a call tag so they can perform their own autopsy on the crap wheel themselves. I'm close to making a decision on my new set of 18's but I'm in no hurry.
On another note this drama with the bad wheel exposed to me the fact that I did NOT completely finish my 5 lug swap. I'm still rolling around with my 4 lug spare tire.
Like that will do me any frickin good, right?
Question to you guys, does the SN95 spare tire fit in our compartment? I'm on the hunt to get one.
