Well...This is a story I am definitely thankful to be able to tell...

Tonight, Wednesday night, I'm driving on Las Tunas..around San Gabriel Blvd...a main street in SoCal for those that are from out of town...I JUST put my rims on last night 18" Racing Hart C2 Gunmetal rims with Yokohama Paradas...so i'm cruising down the road and the steering suddenly got really shaky...I slowed down and started listening to it when all of a sudden the front right rim FLEW off...literally came off...i was going about 30mph...so I watched my rim roll away and hit a store wall about 30 feet away...my car, without the wheel, dropped and basically slid on my brake rotor for a good 10 feet or so (I might go back someday and take pictures of the mark on the street)...CRAZY stuff...

So after calming down and retrieving my rim, which now has more scratches...I jacked up the car and put the rim back on...drove it to a nearby parking lot and examined my damages...WELL...the brakes are making a LOT of noise...so I'm guessing the rotor's no longer circular...one of the four lug bolts...the thread's no good cuz I can't get the lug back on and it doesn't even look straight anymore...so that's definitely no good. Well...I don't know exactly what's wrong yet, going to get it towed to the shop tomorrow and see how bad this is...i'm just praying the control arm isn't bent or anything...or nothing really major...we'll see soon enough...
