December 17, 200817 yr I was driving down Cederdale RD this moring and........................ Worst part is I did it right next to the freeway so everyone got to see my stupid move. So lesson learned......use Pug lugnuts. Jeff
December 17, 200817 yr Well at least you and everyone else is ok! Yeah when I first got my pugs on my Brat I didn't have enough pug lugs, but I was so anxious to get them on with my bigger tires, so I put 'em on and almost had the same happen to me! I was going slow through town and noticed the wobble. But I did still lose a lug nut! I was lucky! Oh yeah it's funny....It's snowing here in Maine too!
December 17, 200817 yr Author Two went through and two fell off, good thing was it was a 390mm wheel. Jeff

December 18, 200817 yr Author Good thing you had a chainsaw and a baseball bat in the back. I only haul the important stuff, luckly I had a box of lug nuts to just limp it home. Jeff
December 18, 200817 yr did the wheel go off on a cool bounce down the road. How far did you have to go to retrieve it.
December 18, 200817 yr Author did the wheel go off on a cool bounce down the road. How far did you have to go to retrieve it. No it kinda stuck under the fender well for a while, then it shot out and kinda hung with me. For the car to stop , it took a long ways, in the last picture you can see a phone pole and a bush. I was on the ground with the ball joint already right there, the tires and wheel where beating the crap out of the fender 50 ft further back. Jeff
December 18, 200817 yr Hmm, reminds me of the 5th of July 2 years ago... Drifting into ditchbank boulders and then overtighting the lugs on the spare is not a good idea. But man it was a good day! -Bill

December 22, 200817 yr Hey All, Here's a pug nut picture story. I didn't own the car then, I do now tho. P.S. I just remembered. Two subaru lug nuts fall through two of the holes in the Pug wheels. Is that wheel ruined? Haven't used them yet. Lug nuts came off, obvious damage to the fender. Some minor damage to the door and rocker panel. Two wheel studs are really messed up. The tire/wheel went under the car, slicing the tire open on the rocker pinch weld seam. Cosmetic damage to the wheel. Doug I was wrong. Here's the backside of the wheel. I will try to use this one.
