I don't think there is even $1k worth of damage and I will not run the factory wheels again. I think that there is a potential safety issue. If the wheel held for another 20sec or failed a minute earlier I would have lost a wheel at 165 mph in the banking and gone straight into the wall. I and my passenger would be gone.
It IS a safety issue. Honestly, at those kinds of speeds you really should have a full cage and automatic fire system and should be wearing a firesuit with Hans device. You're not in play time territory any more.
