DUE TO HIGH SPEED AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT THE TIRE AND TUBE HAVE NOT BEEN LOCATED.  THE OUTER WHEEEL HALF WAS LOCATED.  THE WHEEL HALVES AND REMAINING HARDWARE WERE INSPECTED.  NO EVIDENCE WAS FOUND TO INDICATE IMPROPER ASSY.  IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OR IMPROPER HARDWARE INSTALLATION.  AT THIS TIME CAUSE OF WHEEL SEPARATION IS UNKNOWN.  (CE07200416204)
