My Wheel Fell Off....

naa...they don't know me...near as i could tell they live in berkley....i'm a few blocks from there to say the least....i dunno...probably just my continueing saga of poor luck with this freakin car

It almost looks like you could salvage the wheel at least!!! It does kind of sound fishy that it just happened. You would have noticed it on the way into work it it were loose. But I do know you have to tighten them several times after you put them on.

that doesnt matter to idiots, theyd probably drive an hour to get revenge on you. that car isnt a dime-a-dozen or anything.

[SS4Matt]

who knows....i can't prove anything anyways....and like i said...i'm gonna end up paying for it anyways....cause if i made a claim...insurance goes up a retarded amount every month....... if i don't...(which i'm not) it's gonna cost me atleast $400ish for the rim and tire....then whatever else is ****ed up....i just wanna go get completly anihalated piss ass drunk and not remember it....except i have a math test at 8:30 am...which i dunno how the **** i'm gonna get to class or work?...... the Trans Am is still in storage so i can't take it!!! what a day

[JoeliusZ28]

damn that blows dude. hope something goes right for a change.

i cant belive that the tire didnt start wobling, youd think it would be wobling like a sob if it was about to fall off?

but.. dont worry about it man things will eventually get better

[meissen]

still can't get over that that happened. sorry to hear it, man!

[SS4Matt]

yeah i know...it was fine...i go through this one intersection that's like bumpy as hell...then bam...mother ****er takes a hike on me

you never know, as wide as those tires are, they might stay planted decently straight on their own.

Hey bro, I don't want to kick a dead horse but here goes.

Did you retorque your wheels after putting them on in the first place? With an aluminum wheel you'll enlongate the bolt holes if you don't and get the problem that you had.

Do you know if that's the correct lugnut? The angle of the seat might be incorrect for your particular wheel and that would also make them come off.

Probably already occured to you but give your other wheels a check too.

I'd pursue the warrenty related to the wheels because it seems that the bolt holes were abnormally weak. Usually they'll replace your wheel rather than face a lawsuit. I'm more than willing to follow up the warranty work for you if you're too pissed off right now.

I wouldn't worry about your rear-end, the only thing that is reasonable that could get damaged would be the bearings. Those can take a beating on their own. If they are damaged, it's about a 30 minute $10 job. No worries.

This'll all work out, sorry things have been so shitty thus far. Pretty cars always mess with you, but the work is worth it when everything is purring.

yeah...the cop that came...cause obviously i call 911..... started bullshitting with me about camaros when it was all said and done..he said he had a 91 or something iroc i think...he's like it's in the body shop getting painted right now...i'll catch up with ya when it's done for sure.....

the two other people that got hit with my rim/tire..... i go running up to both their cars and im like "is everyone ok? no one is hurt?" and everyone was fine...but their all *****ing at me like it's my fault...given it kinda is...but WTF??? ya know...one lady was *****in sayin she's gonna sue me cause she only had PLPD (and it was a PIECE OF SHIT olds that was 20 different shades of bondo and primer to begin with) and the guy in the jeep was all pissed off at me.....then later when my car is going on the truck...the cops like "so...are you alright? i know you asked all of them, but none of them had the curtousy to ask you?" i was like "im fine...just gonna be an expensive month"

[SS4Matt]

well i checked my other rear one when i got home...it was fine?.... nice and tight still...the lugs should be the right ones? i mean they sent me a new set with wheel locks when i got them..... i haven't re-torqued them since they went on.... cause it was only a month ago...and never really occured to me.... i don't even give a shit...i'm done worrying about it.... i just know i have some bills coming up and yeah...i hate this.....

[gforlife56]

damn dowg sorry to hear about your car man thats shit sucks

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Damn Matt I'm sorry to hear that bro. I think we all seem to have bad times with our cars some more severe than others. Just stick with it, you have already put so much time and effort into your car. Good thing you didn't do those rear rotors either so its not all bad but you need to paint those calipers lol.

[WMCC Dino]

Dude that sucks!!! I think you can get the city to pay for the damage. You have to call the road commision and just start *****ing. It worked for some people over here in Grand Rapids
