my hard luck of the month

well i just got a new set of wheel put on my daily the night before last. Good looking wheels. Unfortunately the first day i drive on em (yesterday) the driver side front wheel comes off and fucks everything up. I have no idea why it happened, they were torqued down correctly. There was no damage to the wheel, just to my truck. Though i did lose my centercap. Apparantly, rotors arent made from a very strong material, that flat spot came from riding on it for about 20 feet. Guess I now have to get a new rotor, brake pads, studs, possibly a caliper because the rotor is also bent and i havent checked to see if the caliper has sprung out or not. Oh well enjoy the pictures.

DAMN -- THAT SUX --- GOOD LUCK FIXIN IT --

You need the rotors they use on car chase vehicles- I've seen dudes on Cops roll for MILES without a wheel!!!!

Anyone can drag frame- you showed everyone up by dragging BRAKE!

Seriously, sorry to see that happened- good luck with the repairs!

oucchhh..its just a fender..thats the good thing thank god it wasnt you

damn man that sux. Who put them on?

looks like they used the wrong lug nuts

hmm sounds like to me the wheels dont clear the hub on the rotor.

me and my buddy put them on, they fit fine and we used new lug nuts. We've changed lots of wheels and this is the first time anything like this has happened. I'm lucky a car wasn't coming around the curve when it came off.

im sure you used wrong lug nuts thread wise and size

that happen to me but it was becouse some ones was trying to steal them
