Default HRE & SO3 Tire vs BIG OH nail/bolt - you have to check these pics out!

On the 10W coming from work @ San Bernardino.....and well....Cal Trans and our F****ed up freeway gave me a super great gift!!!



So you think by this picture (above) that its just a screwed up tire..but NONONONONOONON it gets better....























Yup, it big enough to make a dent in the wheel....and what makes it worse....the screw or what ever it is...is SO FREAKIN LONG that it is coming through the barrel of the wheel!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!

And what gets me more, I can't put my spare on because of the BBK! And the icing on the cake...its freaking Christmas and if I send the wheel out on Mon...I WON'T SEE IT TIL AFTER NEW YEARS!!!


Sorry all....just had to vent!

From what I can tell its just ugly....

I will know tomorrow. The guys from Status are sending their tech up to take my wheels off and give me a loaner while the HRE gets fixed.

oh damn, that's one long and STRONG screw.... that's on your hre? damn, that's a lot of force.... now you have to replace the barrel or just weld it back on again? it's going back to hre right?
