lol what would lock nuts do? all they do is stop buggars pinching your wheels with a standard wheel brace

they aint no better at holding wheels on!

haha was about to say that myself. Looks like he didn't even HAVE nuts on.

[nizmonut]

i could understand if one wheel came off...but that....somebody needs a redbull

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

locknuts was just the first word that came to mind.... aparently he didn't have any nuts... what a f**king moron

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

even a mintie wont fix that

[Granthem]

maybe all the wheel nuts had just been cranked majorly tight and the studs snapped?

surely you cant drive out with no nuts on, surely lol

[adam-__-]

Just had another watch of the clip and it looks like the studs are still on and the nuts or something that looks like it are on the floor. What happened? How did all four wheels fall off at the same time? hahahah

[baron25]

how the hell do you shear 15 nuts simultaneously?!?!?!?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah... i'm still not 100% on what happened there either ???

[paulr33]

he had a workshop or someone else put different wheels on

but they used the wrong nut type so the thread was different

they went on but didnt hold correctly, so under pressure

they popped off

[Redback]

or he got he couldnt find his lil sis to finish of tightning them for him. lol

that vid is so fckn old...

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

lol only in america..

watch and you see the car bouces along a bit.. but in the vid the nuts are placed next to the wheel.. not scattered or anything..

i reckon some guy took em off for a laugh and shit himself so placed the nuts there lol

could be the wrong sort of nut for the rim. friend of mine has 18's on her car, one was flat so i took it off and put the spare on, but used the same wheel nuts off the 18's, did it up in the right sequence with a wheel brace and they were tight as f*ck. i did it just so i could back the car into my driveway (all of 20ft) and at the end of that drive i undid them all, completely with no effort at all, with my fingers, they were loose as good ol' Paz Hilton. i suspect a similar thing happened there, either that or they were only finger tight to begin with

[ChrisCross]

Or Maybe...maybe someone loosened the nuts before he drove off...thats why locknuts would've helped as they would have held the wheels together

wat he said

[Duncan]

meh, plenty of race cars have lost a wheel over the years, ours included in day 2 at targa last year. one of the crew got distracted, didnt do it up, and it wasnt checked the next day either.

they make a very distinctinve clunking when loose, i picked what it was and hit the brakes - and watched the front left overtake the car and run down the hill lol. car came down hard on the subframe when i hit the ground
