Get that wheel stud replaced asap! Not safe! Get pics too!

 

lol, i'll be fine. Hell, there ARE 4-lug Cobalts too anyways.........just not 4-lugs in an uneven pattern! Owell, I drove around with only 3 lugnuts holding my front right wheel on for weeks when my 18"s were on. Oh, AND a tire plugged extremely close to the sidewall with my 18"s. I had terrible luck with those wheels........

Like I said, it rides fine w/o the stud.........I know its not the safest approach, but im broke as can be b/c im between jobs (quit one, start the new job tomm) with different pay periods, so until im back on my feet, its gonna have to be a 4-lug setup in the front left for now. But the 4 lugs that ARE on there are on securly, and theres a lug-cover that is bolted on, so the wheel isnt going anywhere.

 

Pics?

 

Come on man, I have to go wee wee. Hurry up, hurry up!!!

 

lets see them, they will look clean with the white paint!

 

Sorry for such a delay, but I'm just extra busy at the moment. I recently got screwed out of money by my previous job and just started my new job, so I'm broke and I gotta get a lawyer to get what Pepsi owes me. On top of that, I got a broken hub stud, so I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna approach fixing that, as I'm sure the dealership won't cover that and I'm sure its costly to fix. Anywho, hopefully ill be back on my feet by next week, and ill take some time to wash the balt up and shoot some pics. But for now, its back to work.

 

Actually, this is something that you can do yourself and it's not as hard as you think it would be.

The only thing you would probably need to go to the dealer for is the stud itself. You'll need a hammer to knock the old one out after you take off the wheel hub and hammer the new one in and "BAM" your done!! It's simple really. I had to do this on my Cavy.

 

it may prove difficult to hammer the new stud in...if it does, another way to go about it is to put the stud in and tap it in place and put the lug nut on and tighten it up slowly then tap the head of the stud. repeat this process until you get the stud all the way back in.

 

LOL thats funny. You know I had alot of rims picked out but I just can't seem to get myself to buy the same wheels as someone else. Even though the Axis would look badass and the same with Remedy's wheels. Could of got those, just can't see copying...I guess there is no way to get a one of a kind wheel that no one else has anyways...

Cant wait to see some pics man. If you even have them j/k

 

Yeah. I know exactly where your coming from. but sometimes you just can't help it. I do my best to avoid it and be different and try to change it up like getting a different color, size, chrome, etc...

I don't mind someone having the same set I have. As long as they don't live in the same area as me, that's where I draw the line. Especialy if you see them coming and going all the time.

But if they do that tells me 2 things. 1. I must be doing something right for someone to get the same ones I have, and 2. It gives me an excuse to look for some different ones for my next purchase sooner than later.

 

Just dont do what i did.. i took so long in deciding which wheels i really wanted... the ones I REALLY wanted go discontinued Threw off my whole scheme of how i wantedto do my car... so im revamping everything now.. SUCKS!

 

I didn't really mind having the same wheels as another car, as the likelyhood of me seeing another car like mine with the same wheels on my daily commute is slim to none. I know PlaysWitCars has the same wheels, but I've never once seen his car driving, I've only seen it at a HIN show.

No matter what though, I don't regret my choice of wheel at all. I'm 110% satisfied with how everything came out, and I've received a number of compliments on how it looks already from both friends and strangers. Pieeater saw it firsthand and he was impressed.

But, for now, the balt is at the dealership......driving to work and back on 4 studs when I was supposed to have 5 caused yet another stud to break, leaving my car immobilized at a Sheetz gas station. Thank god for GM Road Side Assiatance. Hopefully it'll be back in my driveway soon.......

 

I don't even need to say anything. Anyways as soon as it gets back, lets see some pics!

 

haha, yeah yeah, you told me so, I know, lol.

Got it back from the dealership this evening. Was $160 to fix.....actually better than I expected.

Gonna try to snap some pics over the weekend.

 

NO TRY!! DO!! Take pictures you must! Anxiously waiting we have been!!
