I'd like to know how many rpms that is and the speed that equates to when it starts deforming and when it flies apart.

Based on 45k rpm mentioned in another comment and picking, idk, a 52mm diameter wheel (they range from 48-60) that's 163mm circumference.

45k rev/m x 60 m/h x 163mm/rev x 1km/1e6mm

= 440kmh = 273mph.

(I probably messed up something but idk)
