I know crazy to think the wheel was
Spinning on roller with no tyre. There is pic of the wheel it looks pretty much new . His inner arch is shot and also the arch to a battering the roller also was damage needing new belts or Summit

Was it really running at 223 mph? If so blimey..
Though that said the turbine way it was gradually winding itself sounded like ruddy long gearing being wound up.
 
The wheel seemed to stand up quite well I thought.
