What's the story then Sam? Spacer broke or non hubcentric worked the wheel loose?

doesn't matter if they're cheap or expensive spacers, this happens when you don't torque things up properly!

To me that looks like the wheel was too big and bent the wing out? First glance that is...Second glance the wheel could  have come loose and f**ked up the arch?  :huh:
