Bad shape with a few cracks in the spokes and rims. Broke my left pinky knuckle in the wing vent frame on the truck I went with the smaller wheel in. Never had that problem with manual steering and really don't want to do that again.....

I still remember hearing it "snap" as I was rolling the steering wheel to the right jockeying into a parking lot.
