Something strange that can happen! Broken Wheel

[GatorMover]

FYI- Never heard of it before, but had a customer do this- He apparently got a rock stuck behind the wheel and it popped a hole in the rim- I'll assume it was caught between the caliper.

:hsu:

Yep, looks like something was rubbing right up till it punched a hole in the wheel. No drag marks beyond the hole only up to it.

Wonder if this was covered by warranty.

You would think there would be some sort of mysterious noise at slow speeds? Lot of pressure there to go through the rim.

[GatorMover]

No, not covered by warranty- come on man! :) Had a guy drop a cab compact tractor through the ice on his pond making a hockey rink for the kids- "This is covered under warranty right?" ... seriously, he did ask.

[purplewg]

Pulling your leg Gatormover.... Trust me I know folks who would expect stupidity to be under warranty.

Glad I ordered steel rims.

I got that Purp! ... you know how it is, people think running out of gas should be covered by warranty. Had one guy got his stuck against a tree, thought we'ld just come out and pull him out as part of our "service".... but then again, he was 36yo lived with mom and dad and his mom wrote the check for it.

Steel wheels for heavy off road! or stack some spares on it! Problem though, can't get the taller Maxxis radial tires on steel wheels-Aluminum only.
