Weyro Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Was parked up in the mainstreet of my town, quite a few folk doing laps.All of a sudden i hear a bang and look up to see a wheel flying towards me! Luckily missed the car by inches.Some poor bastard in an MG ZR snapped all four wheel studs on his front right wheel!I got out and chased after the wheel so it wouldnt hit anyone lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1878 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Shit the bed! ... Do you know what type of studs they were :/? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 No idea, he said the came on the car. The multifit wheels probably had something to do with it too.Looks like hes got away with just needing a new hub, the disc held together so the car never hit the deck.

Flaminsam Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Probably over tightened the toffee wheel studs, stretched the studs making them become weak. Either that or he was driving around with them loose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
