I'm a coward when it comes to the idea of not torquing my wheels.. shit's scary to me. When I put my wheels on after having them off, I torque them as soon as I lower the jack. Then I move the car about 10ft(out of the shop, driveway, etc..), let the wheels re-center, and torque them again. Take it for a short test drive(5-10 miles), and torque them one last time. 3 times in all. Never lost a wheel or even had a lug loosen up doing it that way.

My car blows :(

 

Pulled off the wheel today and saw the caliper contacted the back of the rim when it came off and fucked up the caliper. Gotta replace it =/

 

Also, now my tranny is leaking fluid. Not sure if it's clutch or transmission just yet.

Step 1, confirm your wheels still have the correct hole, seat, and washer for the mag lug nuts. Step two, replace ALL your wheel studs and wheel lug nuts. Re-torque to 85 ft-lbs. Re-torque after a drive around the block, then re-torque again in 25 miles. THEN, take a sharpie, mark the lug nuts on the top and on the wheel, so you can see if they move. Inspect as often as necessary.

 

Is there any chance someone wants to harm you? Seems odd to me as I've (knock on wood) never had a wheel fall off.
