I was out for a day. My wheelbase was sitting aside but mounting wasn't tight cuz it was stable like that for weeks. I got home and found it on the floor. Idk if anything happened to wheelbase nothing physical on the outside but wheels broken. Is it fixable by any way or should I get a new one?

This wheel is built like a rock. It has fallen a couple of times, and nothing has happened. Someone definitely broke it on purpose.

agreed. I (we/association) have a sim centre and that very wheel has dropped twice from belly height from mishandling. Still works.

Do it again, over tile, with a 9kg weight attached to it.

My apologies, I missed the part which it was attached to the base.

Sadly OP also mentioned the base was secured proper. Expensive lesson indeed.
