I was on my way home from buying my date her prom dress when all of a sudden boom! My front passenger tire blows! Damn my car stated going crazy and uncontrollable but I managed to pull off to the side where I crashed into some dirt pile that made the car stop! I tried everything but the brakes were not stopping nor was the E brake. It sparked a small fire along side the bushes and concrete it scrapped on but nothing too bad, my poor spoon replica lip is alive some how my front bumper came off and smashed up my passenger side fogs and broke a small piece of my lip and the inside of the tire well is all gone it took it all out and some how there's scratches and rubber marks on the top side of the fender. It had to be towed, and the tire with the rim had to be removed with a hammer and a lot of force, he said it hugged my brake rotor or something I wasn't able to see until I got home and they had already replaced the rims with my stocks. Now the car stops funny and pulls really hard to the right, can any one help me figure out what I can do to fix this? Or waht to look for?

Thanks

i work at a tire shop and see tire blow outs everyday.. some of them are scary and some people are just stupid and keep driving on them for some stupid reason.. if you hit that hard when it blew or when you pulled over you could have some suspension damage which would be why it pulls to the right.. if you ahve put the stock wheels back on and still does, go get an alignment w/ the aftermarket rims so everything is correct and wont need to be aligned agian once you put the rims on and this should correct problem..
as for the stopping if they said it was smashed onto the rotor and had to be hit off w/ a hammer (which can happen to wheels that are pefectly fine, ive done it many times to get wheels off cars where it was tourqed to much and sealed to the brakes) have your breaks checked out, something could have happned to the caliper or maybe a bolt broke loose.. good luck man..

aye bro sorry to hear that... my 205's blew out on me in the freeway also.... but it wasnt too bad....no damaged though.... by the way, where did you purchase the replica? pretty damn good, i want to get my hands on one

I'll get some pics as soon as I can, I'm taking my car to my sponsors tomorrow to see what they can do or see if they can figure out anything I cant. I'm afraid to drive it far though, I think it defiantly needs to be aligned but I hope thats all there is to it.

Sorry 'bout the car but... where did you get your Spoon replica lip? Thanks

UnrealSpeed

I can get the replica lips from my sponsors, Move Motorsports. For about $180. They come ready to be painted, I painted mine flat black using a regular spay paint and clear coat, and it turned out good, and it was like $20 for the paint.

I'd definatly say your alignment is batched, also your rotor (if it wasn't replaced) is as well. try either getting it cut or just get a new one, but definatly get it checked out before hand.
