Was those the Euro 63RS from Monarch? Looks like one of them, got chewed up pretty bad.
I have these same wheels on my E63.

That is good news, because from the photo, it looks like a big chunk of aluminum is missing.

How important is that ?
Could the extra weight on Standard Load tire cause a blowout, even if they were pretty new? OR a lower load range, for instance like a 93....? My current tires are XL and 99 in front, 101 in rear - I'm just wondering...?

I always keep mine at 40psi
Might be a good idea to invest in a TPS system
