Tip:
When you mount your alloys, retorque them again after 100km. They have a tendancy to come loose. This happened to my buddy's Tibby GT on the way to Sask. last summer. |

Why would you think that way? I'm gonna have to keep my eyes on you when your near my car. :lol:
I saw that car downtown yesterday afternoon. My guess is about 2:45 pm ripping around corners. If it was spotted later with the wheels on, my guess is that it just came loose.
Agreed: re-torque after 100 KM with a torque wrench! I think the average is 150 lbs. Somebody jump in here if they know otherwise.

| One of my buddys tires did that when your tourqing the nuts if you over toruqe them they will get loose after a while of unproper installation. |

| Maybe he got a piece of rice stuck in the wheel and it pried it off... |

Must have confused it with the hub nut, that's around 150 ft/lbs. |
