Wow really wtf

[blackout11]

So im driving home tonight and i get this weird wobbling in my gas peddle i immediately know what it is (threw a tire on my mustang ) i pull over and take a look see nothing.Ok take off the center caps and get out the lug wrench and at least 3 out of the 5 lugs were lose and im sorry but ive been working on cars for 20 plus years and i know they were tight, i even retightened them after 100 miles. Any one ever hear of this before nothing happened to the rim but still any input or ideas. I even called the guy that i bought them from and he said no ones ever called with that problem before.

Glad you got to it before any damage of you were hurt!

 

[blackout11]

I was thinking maybe lock tight dont know maybe was a one time thing got all ideas running threw my head even like maybe someone was fing around or trying to steal them.

Did you check the other wheels?

Weird man, dumb question, but you tightened them to spec right?

Ya the backs were fine its the front that had the lose lugs.

Used my handy dandy snap on wrench/ and no question is dumb lol

 

[Bluegrass James]

someone out to get you?

 

[quietpeen]

New aftermarket wheels are known to come loose..gotta check them regularlly for a while

 

[HKkid]

Well I know how it can be, had a buddy patching a wheel one day, and one of the ass hats he worked with kept trying to tell me that I had cross threaded one of the bolts. Needless to say my buddy told him to go find something to do before he became a very unhappy person.

[iSlacker816]

Well good, especially after just getting them!

 

[Mad Cow]

My thoughts is that they were not tight enough.

LOL oh they were tight and even tighter now

 

[Five.SevenlExpress]

either they are bad lugs/not tight/someone loosened them/tried stealing them?

hope u get to the bottom of it

 

[bigbadram1500]

Eeek. That's scary. Glad you found it when you did. Similar thing happened to my dad a month or so ago.

 

[EJM05]

I had this happen once with my rockstars. I caught it in time too.

Glad yo found caught it in time. This is pretty common though with new aluminum wheels. You have to retighten them multiple times before they stay tight.
