So there I am minding my own business, carefully going around a mildly snowy curve near my apartment, a curve that I have navigated literally thousands of times I'm sure, when I hit the brakes to slow down even more (was only doing 30kph) and she didn't slow down.

So as I'm coming around the corner the damn truck loses it's grip and I go sliding into a curb.


How screwed am I now?! My spare is also crap I just found out, it's all bald, and I can't find the correct size socket to remove my wheels....the one on the tire iron doesn't even seem to fit onto the nuts.

So that's how my sunday is going, how about yours?

 

Where do you live? I have 4 spare 17" rims here.

 

London Ontaro.....Canada.

 

ugh, brutal dude. If you can't get froys i would look on craigslist or in the for sale section in the forum, you might find something.

 

****ty. Ya no one uses Craigs List around here but kijiji always has rims listed. Worth a look for sure.

 

And especially since no one wants those wheels you should be able to get them for cheap

 

No one has any on kijiji, at least not near me and the ones that are there are extremely expensive.

I'm looking for free lol..

what size are the lug nuts? I may have to use my rusty spare rim and have this rubber put on it, but I can't find the exact size for the nuts.

 

7/8" 22mm

 

really?? I couldn't get a 7/8" to fit properly.

 

They put a metal cap on the nut. Usually the cap will round off, and you can peel them off the nut. I replaced mine right away. with one peice black lug nuts.
