one eye Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 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!

bheinen74 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 did the wheel go off on a cool bounce down the road. How far did you have to go to retrieve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 You had a chain saw in the back, what are you complaining about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 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.

The Beast I Drive Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quidam Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited December 23, 2008 by Quidam Add picture.
