Bad day for a country drive... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Well, took the ZR-1 out yesterday for some TX farm road driving with some friends, unfortunately, this happened:

Not sure if it was the tire that failed first or the wheel, I'm kind of thinking wheel with the crack all the way through the spoke. Fortunately, I already have 95 vent panels that came with the car (repainted at same time car was done), but the wheel is a total loss as even if it could be repaired, I'd never trust it again with a crack like that. Issue of course, is you can't just find one Shelby wheel anymore (although I'll certainly look). Now the question is, do another set of Shelbys (giving me 2 rear spares and 1 front spare) or do something completely different (A-molds, CCWs, etc). If I do A-molds (or something else), I can fit the C5 front brake kit I have sitting in the garage. Or if I do some CCWs or similar, I can fit C6Z brakes.
