My Wheel Fell Off....

[redhead_with_an_attitude]

That's no fun! Yikes! Hope everything works out for you!

[SS4Matt]

this seems like a good idea.....

WMCCDENNIS 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

cause the intersection is a shit hole.....

[Yoeasy69]

yea, def a good idea to go take some pics of the intersection where it happend before it gets repaved.. contact the city and see what you can do.. don't let them loball ya. mind as well make your hard earned tax money work for you at least..

[FireBirdGirl02]

OMG! wow matt what a week u have had I am so sorry to here about your car. I was talkin to brian last night and he told me what happend.

[silver6_maro]

Thats what i was going to mention, ive got a friend that lives nect to a really nasty intersection...well him and his dad have had some issues with their cars because of this...

he called the city and was real nice about it, and they blew him off....so...he called again and realllly gave it to em, and they fixed the road soon after that..

So just add damages to that...and make sure they know that they are going to pay for it!!!

[SS4Matt]

so i just went and actually took a look at my car.... aparently the lugs stripped right off my studs, cause there's metal all on them...given im sure some of it's from the rim....but it looks like the lugs literally got pulled off...im gonna call tomZwheels and be like "WTF...the lugs stripped off...and ****ed my shit up..."

what a ****'n year this has been so far......

[KILLERCAM94]

Yo Matt, you what you need to do is out to the desert with your dad. Michigan don't like you too much bro...lol

[Transamsfast]

matt idk how theyd all get stripped. im tellin u i swear it was those kids payback. maybe not but thats what im thinking. goof luck bro

[JoeliusZ28]

yea ive definitely seen wheels hang on with only 3 lug nuts for a long period of time.

[SS4Matt]

Tomz sent me a email back saying they'd charge me $115 shipped to my door for a new rim (that's their price i would imagine) so that plus the new kDW2 tire (295/35r18......F*CKING EXPENSIVE!!!) which is $220..... and then i have the new rotors to go on.... i'll fix that stuff and drive it for a minute to see if anything else is wrong.....guess i'm gonna have to role in the leaky chrome 10 spokers again....damn i hate them...the chrome on those rims are such POS that the chrome is cracked on the bead of 2 of them, and they leak!!!

ANYTIME you put on new wheels you should re-torque them after 20 miles and again after 100 or so and check them after 500 or so. Same goes if you pull the wheels for cleaning or whatever. It's just good insurance. These ain't $20 tires on $2 junkyard steel rims like it used to be. This is part of taking care something you have a major investment in.
Sorry it happened.

[WMCC85BERLI]

Sorry to hear that. Well look at the bright side. You are not hurt and did not hurt anyone else. It does Take the wind out of you but Upgrades are good and these things are replaceable!

Good advice zman.
