Link worked for me.

Dude got some crappy lugnuts. I would go after em for the repairs.

 

Seems like he should've known they weren't right when he put the tires on

 

i know i would..... i'll try to see what i can find out if they did something about it but i seriously doubt it since "they" the tire store didn't install them then it is the sole responsability of the end user not the supplier.....

 

wow I would be whooping some tire story punk behind. But didn't he notice they weren't right?

 

after watching the video, I was going to post


You mean you are not supposed to keep the trigger pulled on the 1/2" impact til the socket stops turning? LOL!!


THat sucks. Should have realized they were wrong while installing them.

 

the odd thing is he said they torqed down properly.

 

that seems like a pretty loose group on that board. LOL! i didn't read the whole thing but did he get the wrong thread pitch or the wrong style of nut? i was a victim of the wrong style of lug nut when i was in high school. i managed to keep all my wheels on....barely.... cost me some wheel studs though.

 

Racing in an import is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win your still a retard



Did I say that out loud?

 

Ya we are a close knitt group on there.... so ya we cut up alot..... i'm not exactly sure but one person noted and i have experienced this before.... a 1/2 X 20 (standard) thread is VERY close to a 12 X 1.5 (metric) the 1/2 x 20 will tighten up on a 12x1.5 stud but won't hold the side to side force that he exerted on the car during that solomn (sp) before the lugs came off......

 

makes sense. i ran into "similar" thread issues before with hardware. tell him that's a sufficient explanation and we're ok with him having tools now.
