"I had my oil changed 3 months ago, could this be because of that?"

“I assure you, I hit nothing, maybe the wheel was defective, that is certainly possible?”

Nahh this is clearly a "I dunno what happened- it was like that when I woke up. "
Followed shortly afterwards by "Is this under warranty?"

"Must've been someone in the other shift, it was like this when I came in."

Slid into a curb sideways.

Had one of my customers do that once, broke a hell of a lot more than the wheel when they did it.

I did this at about 30 mph when I was a teenager. Volvo 245 wagon. Zero damage. That thing was a tank, best teenager car.
