oh, about 3 miles from home after work I notice a vibration.
I pull over on a side street, get out, and do a quick walk around. Everything seems ok. It gets real bad about 1.5 miles out. I drive nice n slow. Turning the right hand corner from Wellsbranch onto Wellsport something bad happens http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/misc-pics/CMC_015 http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/misc-pics/CMC_014 http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/misc-pics/CMC_013 http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/misc-pics/CMC_012 http://www.vilipend.net/~frrax/misc-pics/CMC_011 Luckily I was only going bout 10 miles an hour at this point. I ran home two blocks and loaded up the 9C1 w/ my harbor freight jack, tire iron, and 'spare'. When I got back the sheriffs dept was already there w/ lights on. I got it taken care of. |

Darn it that sucks. So no other damage other than the wheel? Which looks like Vette rim "sawblades". Could have been serious Morgan glad no real BIG mishap took place. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Have you had alot of track time on those rims? Like fatigue? Could have been a good smack before you got the car or rims awhile ago and just now decided to let go or something (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) . |
