great price!!

 

I'm completely baffled. How can a blunt bolt like that go cleanly through the rim?! I mean theres not any evidence of the metal aroundn it even being pushed up and no rough edges around it...weird..thats crazy man, good luck on getting it fixed!

 

Whoa! Is that even possible? How can a bolt that thick easily pierce through a steel rim? That's crazy!

 

Why does everyone say "sue" so fast? I've worked in construction since I was 16 and I've seen this exact same thing a few times. Couple of times I've seen it as the result of driving over a piece of rebar, once from light pole studs, and once from a concrete stake. Alloys will not take that kind of abuse and come away clean no matter who makes them. You can go ahead and try to sue whomever you like but Scion didn't put the bolt in the the path of your can and they certainly didn't steer your car over it. Road hazard, plain and simple.

 

Wow. This is the first tiem I've seen something like this.

 

jump off of a 3 foot wall and land straight onto a bolt like that and see if it goes threw your foot
imagine what a 3000lb car moving at 20-30 mph and hitting a 3/8 bolt, it would probably puncture and aluminum engine block nevermind a maybe 1/2 thick aluminum rim

 

man Ive seen alot of people sue for very stupid things... you can sue anybody for anything why not this.. sue the makers of the rims for defected product that may have cause injury or death to consumer"

 

ok, with the suing, i was joking, you know hahafunny, joking, i know i have no case, even trying to get the county to reimberse me for negligence wouldn't work, i bought a new rim, end of story

 

talk about a road hazard

 

You see someone do something stupid and then reccommend someone else be stupid because thats what everyone else does? Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this...... Are you by chance a Democrat?

 

wtf thats crazy

 

That's the American Way!

 

im a buddhist

 

yes, so ironic. Love it because it allows you to make money while taking it from you at the same....oh the irony.

 

Jackass.

 

I'm a lawyer, and I say, "Stop plotting frivolous lawsuits."

 

At least some of us has sense. I am sorry but it wasn't scion's fault or the place it happened fault. It just really bad luck. Where did this happen at? If it happen on the highway contact the highway dept and talk with them you might get lucky and they might reinburse you but I doubt it. Sorry about your luck man.

 

I ran over something and it ruined the tire and bent my rim. My suggestion buy a RIM off EBAy thats what I did, i only paid 80 bucks and I cant tell the difference..

 

Was the road freshly paved? Maybe a lazy DOT worker left it in the road and it finally came out enough to do some damage. That sucks though. I would go back to the scene of the crime and look for any leads. Good luck

 

Thats crazy dude !! I've never seen that before. As stated above.....aluminum is a cheap/soft pliable metal. Damn dude... I feel for ya. Just make sure you get the new wheel/tire balanced and aligned.

Sparks Toyota.....hmm......interesting.
