The best friends you will ever have in life, are the ones you never lend a single thing to. Unless its being used while you're there and you take it home with you.

I lent my Nintendo Rc Pro-am to kid named bobby in 3rd grade, still havent gotten it back

May be SOL.

Until insurance co. finds out he was street racing, and refuses to pay up.
Then you and your pal are straight up SOL.

Do his laundry, Pick up his dry cleaning. Walk his dog. Clean his kitchen and bathrooms. Mow his lawn. Take his kids to school for him. Make a sizeable donation to a worthy charity in his name.

These are the things you should do.

He may be thinking of suing you anyway for your faulty wheels that caused his accident.

Count your blessings.

Pay it forward.

+1 and even if he was being a good guy and racing at the track where we should be, you're still going to be out of luck with insurance. Most companies will not cover any damage of any kind whatsoever incurred while at the track. And trying to make a claim without disclosing the damage was a result of track driving you'd be committing insurance fraud. Basically, it boils down to how good of friends you guys are. I know if one of my good friends were kind enough to let me borrow something and I damaged it, accident or not, I'd replace it asap with the same thing or better.

Sorry to hear about your awkward situation. As far as legal solutions go, it depends on what you want out of this.

Are you worried that the condition of your wheels could have had something to do with the accident?

Do you want money?

In any case, if someone is borrowing wheels, small claims court really isn't worth your time. They don't have money for you. You can sue your friend's insurance company but without knowing about his coverage, there's no projection on what you can get out of it. In any case, you can wait some time - so do what everyone here is telling you to: wait an appropriate amount of time for your friend and just ask if they'll pay you for it.

If they agree, send an e-mail and sum up what you talked about, maybe tell him hey thanks for being cool about the wheels, hard times, etc... here are the ones i was thinking of, let me know when a good time is for you to buy for me.

If you're in a place where you have to sue someone, trust me, it's not worth the cost of wheels.

also, if he believes your wheels caused his accident, you'll want to proceed with caution.

my advice: this doesn't sound personal. it's just (a little) money, save up and replace.

Situations like this is why God invented Small Claims Court. The limit in California is $7,500.
