I was too p!ssed off to panic.
I was 45 Y.O. I had soloed a Cessna 150 when I was 19. I've been in worse places. Since I was still on the ground, and going about 20 MPH, making a turn -- I put the wheel back on the hub -- maybe not aligned perfectly, but enough to still steer. Guy behind me honked, but I had bigger things to deal with than jerks. I pulled into a parking lot and looked at the situation. The center of that Grant wheel was lead, [or potmetal] And it was maleable. I gave it a whack with a framing hammer, so it would stay on enough to get home, and got the hell out of dodge.
As soon as I could, I mounted the OEM wheel the PO had included with the deal, and never looked back.
I HATE GRANT WHEELS
