I am relating the shoutbox conversation and info here to my co-workers:
From Jonathan (Toyota owner 
):
I have a hard believing that the pressure created within the tire, from hitting an object, would be so much that it would create such a huge hole in an aluminum alloy rim; it’s just doesn’t make sense. The tire should’ve exploded, flopped around ‘til it just came off the rim if anything.
If the statement IS true, then the rim was poorly made (hurray American quality) and the pressure hit a weak spot on the rim and did that.
My two cents.
yes a poorly made, aftermarket CAST alum rim, i highly doubt someone was outy shooting a hi power rifle, shooting at tires
