You mean the entire wheel came off the car at 60? Just seems hard to believe that the only damage to the car itself is lost lugnuts.

WOW. You're lucky you didnt wreck your car, man. Was it a front wheel or rear?

I agree....its amazing you didn't total your car if the wheel came off going 60mph......I mean that is friggin fast for a wheel to come flying off...... x5

yeah i was suprised that it had minimal damage to it, it was the front drivers side tire. i'm just glad its all fixed and ready to go now. but the only bad thing is i gotta find a new rim thats the same as the rest of them!
