That's a great argument for Anti-Seize and properly torquing the lugs....

Hell no, I'll put it together dry and use a 6 foot cheater bar on the wrench just to make sure they stay tight.

I enjoy collecting special/event items in games (hence me pre-ordering etc). I'm willing to pay again for the game

I guess it never crossed his mind to drill the lug out before cutting the rim into pieces.

haha wow is right! What was he thinking!

Just think if you had to do that to your BBS lol.

E90 87ss · 11-28-2009, 09:13 AM

it looks like he did everything possible. i mean drilling and tapping it, couldn't fit an easy out because of the broken tap... you can't drill a titanium tap, you have to shatter it. Only thing I can think of is welding an extension, but that would be hard anyways. Personally i don't think he was left with much of a choice. He could have snapped the bolt clean off, that would have been the best way...

I would soak it with penetrating oil, drive a cold chisel in there, and get on the end of it with a breaker bar.
