Well I just replaced the front tires as they were pretty bad. (Couldn't afford back just yet, was waiting til next month for them.)

Had just gotten on the freeway doing about 35-40 because I knew the rear tires were bad, I still lost it. Letting off the gas and counter steering did nothin for me as the back was already hydroplaning really bad, luckily I was in the far right lane and just smacked the embankment a little, wheel came off at the end of it all.

Had it towed and waiting to hear back about the damage.

She started right up after it all but I turned it right back off as I'm almost positive the wheel went under the car and I couldn't look for fluids because of how wet it already was with a stream running nice and hard right under the car haha.

while im here. why the hell is your deductible 1000 dollars?

BLKDOUTSRT4 · 10-06-2009, 05:47 PM

who put those wheels on....really that snapping right there could be from over torqued wheels....just looks very very fishy.....fyi might wanna have insurance look into it...if you took it someplace to put those on they may have over torqued that wheel stressing it out.....rims should NEVER break like that especially stock wheels they are usually the strongest ive seen rolled srts with non busted wheels

another note i wouldnt pay 1k u should be able to fix it cheaper just get a new wheel ....and throw a rotor on it....prob no other serious mechanical damage

Haha, because I'm a broke college student trying to save a few bucks where I can. turns out I costed myself more but you live and you learn.

Thanks for the headsup black but I actually got the tires for super cheap through my brothers work, and he put them on so I don't think I'll pursue that really. When the wheel came off it did a number to my fender, and my bumper. They are replacing the right control arm, the knuckle, hub assembly, right strut, and fixing the exhaust (dunno what happened to it exactly).
so yeah... I didn't think 1k would be too bad for that seeing as I wanted a new bumper anyhow and thats 600 or so new.
