PA ... talk about bad luck!

And when did you get BBS rims?! I thought you were stylin' with the Enkeis ... man, it must have been forever when I saw your car last (ie before the move down to 'bama).

I could have made you a great deal for my Volks ... but I sold my car with them as a package ... Did I tell you I miss my car still?

I was having the same shakes from 40mph to 60, sometimes even lower...around 25. Replaced the driver's side axle (new at Autozone 70 bucks) and shake went away. It actually feels weird not having the shake anymore when I had it for a good month or two...LOL

That blows... they gonna charge you a deductable but at this rate better than buying new rim/tire.

I think you should be in for some good shit after taking all this flak and crap falling from the sky. Best wishes man.

Wow... I can't believe my string of bad luck.

This morning I hit a pothole and completely destroyed another BBS. This one has a big gash on the inner lip and it looks as if a raving lunatic ripped it apart with jaws of life.

Luckily I was only a mile from work so I drove it in. As soon as I parked it and got out, I heard the air escaping sound and it went flat on me. It's BAD. I'll post pics later when I get a chance to go out there.

In the mean time, I've ordered a new set of wheels and tires from Tirerack. I'm sick of this.

Wow bro, sorry to hear of all your recent problems. I've gone through similar experiences with my TL. You know what they say, when it rains it pours. Good luck with your new wheels, I'm sure they'll cheer you up when they arrive

Oh, there she is. Wait, she's leaning a bit to her right. I wonder why.



This is freakin' why.












This is the one that was damaged in the construction zone last week. I was going to send it off to Atlanta to get it fixed but there is no point anymore.






And this is my super awesome photochop (okay, MS Paint) of the new wheels.

Rob,

I take those BBS rims aren't forged ... why would they crack like that unless your car fell into a crater of a pothole.

Sorry about your bad luck. Maybe time for Volks?

At least ... something that will fit your Genesis coupe ...

Sorry to hear about your string of bad luck.

And yeah, I'm sick and tired of the vibrations in my UA5 as well. Even when I fix everything, something still has to rattle.

On the plus side; think of the oh so wonderful employee discount you'll get on your Genesis Coupe. :grin:
