I will be talking to them more tomorrow. They are paying for all the damages.
I was lucky, it started shaking on the Freeway. Got off the next exit and it came off at 35 mph.
Scraped the Front Skirt. Rotor damaged and it also damaged the inside of the wheel.. Fender now pushes into the door.
Wheel went down the other side of the road and didn't hit any cars. Hit the signal light pole and stopped.

I think they look sharp. Glad you didn't go with 24" spinners. But that's too bad that the wheel came off.

I was thinking 26"
I didn't want to go all ghetto. Just wanted some chrome.
It sucked to damage a new vehicle. Now I have to deal with getting it fixed.

Just talked to the Manager, his is submitting a claim and will pay for all damages.
So I wonder if they will do anything to keep me as a customer?

I am pretty sure they didn't tighten the lug nuts. I can't see them falling off after 10 miles of driving.

They are willing to take back the wheels and tires.
I am bringing to them on Mon so they can inspect it, then to the dealer for repair.
Do you really thing the wheels were at fault not the installer?

Yep, my parents were also in the car. The tire could have killed someone.
Just talked to claims, so far everything is covered including my wages.
