still loving these rims

they gotta be coated with something, because they are wicking away all the snow and salt and look brand new everyday, without me doing anything!

got to work today and one of my coworkers complained that my truck was loud as shit when pulling in

figured it was just my exhaust, but decided to check it out anyways

sheared a good ole lug bolt off

How the hell did that happen??

How the hell did that happen??

from what I've read, it's fairly common on older vehicles in the north. with all the rust, it just takes a slightly over-torque and they're toast

I haven't had that happen to any car of mine yet, and I'm in NJ, and lived in Pa for awhile. All salty states.

Holy smokes! Over torqued???

That doesnt happen up here in Alaska. Just hulk torqued me thinks

 

[Galandorian]

Ended up being that they were under torqued. It was pretty much my first time ever doing brakes / new rims / whatever and I only used a torque gun, which didn't do the job.

The root cause was that I used lug bolts that were not designed for the application.

I was very fortunate that my coworker pointed it out so that we could fix it, before I ended up losing a tire at 85 MPH on my commute to work.

been so busy with work I haven't even put in my new retrofits yet

right now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to keep the vehicle or sell it...

next week I should be pulling the Grand Prix out of storage, and don't see any point in keeping a $6000 truck around that I won't use again until October

at the same time, I almost pulled the trigger on another set of these rims, but with the -12MM offset this time

so indecisive
