Default OT: Possible ITR involved in fatal accident in FL

Don't exactly know if it's an ITR but from the pic it appears to have a 5 lug. Anyone heard or know, can confirm. Mods lock/delete if needed.

From the two lugs visible it looks like 5 lug spacing to me....

i think that guy was the driver. he's totally responsible. he was just scared to be blamed for getting his friends in an accident.

If it's an R, it's wingless. I don't think it is though, looks 4 lug.

looks 4 lug to me too
so it's not a R.. unless this guy is mental and did 4 lug conversion on his R
so the driver has been driving mental the whole time he had his license ..

Hard to tell from the pics but at least to my eyes it looks like 5 lug spacing. Sad to hear either way.

IIRC the airbags that went off in my 00 are pinkish orange in color. I can confirm that this evening.

Looks 5 lug to me. You can only see 4 but the spacing looks far more like a 5 lug setup than 4 lug.

The spacing really looks like a 5 lug. What are we going to do when idiots are buying R's. We are a dying breed. Sorry to see the accident. Looks really bad. Cant believe he left his own peeps.

If you save it to your computer and zoom in you'll see there is a sunroof on the car.

No matter if it's an ITR or not I hope Mr Colon gets Colon raped in jail if he was driving.

guys those wheels are close to an ITR wheel... however they do not look like ITR wheels I highly doubt that is an ITR&gt;

also note the silver center cap that looks nothing like our center cap.

well theya re 17"s or so too. they don't look like stock wheels at all. Just the angle of the pic and all made it possible to see 5 lug, closer inspection does look more like 4 though.
