| I may have over tightened the wheel nuts.. |
So i was thinking, i could possibly install a hex in the wheel (covered in cling wrap) and then epoxy the center up again, then drill it out.. wdyt?
UPDATE 1: I did that, well in fact i just super glued the hex in there and bolted it on with a washer. Given there were cracks all up the arms and i expected it would just shear off given half a chance. Yeah, so it worked for an hour or so, but then it broke again.
UPDATE 2: Meanwhile I had gone ahead and bought another car purely for spares. That showed up the day before my fix broke and so i just pinched a rim off that and painted it up etc.
UPDATE 3: I similarly broke one of the plastic bead lock pieces, i suspect from over-tightening combined with blunt trauma.. ;)
UPDATE 4: We broke two(!) more wheels yesterday. The issue may have been because i used some threadlock on the wheel nuts, i think it ate the plastic away a bit. At any rate I just bit the bullet and ordered some metal wheels off Bangood.
