Driving home from work today...
all of the sudden the car infront of me swerves and something comes bouncing down the road towards me! What is that? A freakin hammer?!?!?!?! Well I swerve but still catch it with my rear driver side tire.
FLAP FLAP FLAP
So I pull over and change my flat. Pull it off and look at the tire, but nothing is wrong. I look inside the wheel? The inner wall of my Aluminum wheel has a hole in it :o. Right in the middle of the inside of the wheel there is a bump with a crack in the middle.
Looks like VW is getting 400 more of my dollars :-\
...Plus a tire :-\
I was going to take a picture, but I can't find my camera right now. I'll post one when I find it.
that sucks, dude :-\
It could be worse! You could be 5'4" like IZ! ;:|
That sucks, man. Time to upgrade to some sweet ass CF/Mag wheels ;)

yeah...if I wasn't so broke right now, I would do it
as it stands, it means I'm going to have to wash the other 3 wheels so the new one doesn't look funny ;:|
Les Schwab fixed my IZ'd tire for free wt: I do not have their tires and yet still no charge wt:
Reading comprehension, FTL.....
Are you in the states? If so, what wheels are they? I work for Porsche/Audi/VW, I may be able to get you a hookup.

It's a 16in alloy that came stock on a 2007 rabbit. It was the option up from the steelies. If you could get me a hook up, that would be awesome!!!
oh...and I'm down in Texas

Dang it! IZ is down in Texas for one weekend and already this >:(
He brings with him a trail of death and destruction... :)

Nah...actually...it's okay. We can use this rain you left us with. But if I get another hammer through the wheel, I'm coming after you!!!
Man, hammer through the weel, that's not fun at all.
Wait till you get a hammer through the wheel IZ.
HS! Lucky you weren't on the bike! Reminds me of the time I was wizzin' down the freeway on my bike and saw something come flyin' out from between a set of duals on a semi. I duck and swerve and a golf ball goes zippin' by my head!! ???

To be honest with you, when I first read the thread title I thought you had gotten the IZ_pipemode treatment twice...

I thought maybe someone took an out-of-focus picture of a nail in his tire.
