First off, congrats on your boosted stang! Sorry you've already experienced tranny problems and additional issues as well. The part of the forum isn't very active, so I would suggest going to the FI section - that place always has a lot of traffic and attention. A lot of experience there and...

Yes sir, been looking around for a while for a new set of wheels and bouncing back and forth with what I'm actually looking for. While I won't be dropping 5k for a set of forged wheels, they'll be quality. And 100% agreed that it could have been worse, I need to count my blessings and take my...

The wheels were already on the car when I bought it, they were put on back in 2017. I got the car in 2021.

Sincerely appreciate the suggestions and insight for additional options. The reality is that I'm not looking to make it more than what it is, nor chasing after something big... I was just looking for some ownership of the negligence and be on my merry way. It's still recent news to me and I'm...

At fault with negligence? Yes. Either the wheel was damaged when brought in, and they balanced a damaged wheel after mounting the tire or it was damaged at the shop, etc. Two main reasons why I suspect that is the dents on the inner rim of the wheel 180° across from each other and the amount...

The update. After approx one month of disputed liability claim and the big box store utilizing their own 3rd party, the claim was denied due to "no evidence reviewed that their client caused the damage". Well poop. The 3rd party was a real pain to communicate with and the claim analyst never...

I appreciate it, I should be able to swing by later today - you still like your Starbucks with extra cream? 😂

I don't think the tire blew, though we may define that differently. The tire itself appears to be perfectly fine, visually speaking. The wheel let go, separating down the barrel into two pieces. The outter part of the wheel remained bolted on the hub and that was the part I drove on for a few...

I don't have any pics of that particular area and I think I may be hard pressed to find the exact spot where it happened, especially now that it has been several days but I'll try and get over there today and see if I can. The road has very few pull off points where a whole vehicle can get off...

Thx for response. I haven't looked at the other three wheels but will check them out by this weekend and report back.

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/wheel-failure.208538/ Doesn't exactly identify why there was a failure, but we got some opinions on things.

Went to big chain store where tires were purchased from and they did the install. Manager will be filing a claim, their corporate will review/investigate and we will see where it goes from there. Thanks to those who responded with options and advice. Will update with the outcome.

I agree, I should've been more proactive when I saw the weights. I'll likely get a hold of the shop this week and see if there is some middle ground they're willing to meet at. If not, nothing lost.

To clarify, I've had the wheel for several years. I'm good with asking the manufacture if they would be willing/able to do something about it. For those who have had experience with dismounting and mounting tires, are there any processes that could bend the rim inwards?

TLDR; Wheel failure after new tires installed, pictures attached. Bad luck or damage from shop? XXR 521 Wheels 20x10.5 Old tires: Nitto NT555 G2 305/30 New tires: Atturo AZ850 305/30 The other day I had my tires replaced with the Atturo tires, needed something decent without breaking the bank...

The irony of life. The new tires did great, vast improvement over the old G2s but I wasn't allowed to have too much fun. Hit a small wash out in the road and back end goes wonky, the wheel breaks in half, and I'm stuck without a spare. Ended up getting another wheel and tire, just to be able to...

Nothing special but got some new tires on the back end. Went with the Atturo AZ850 after hearing a bunch of reviews on them. I'm looking to get a new set of wheels next year and just needed a pair that'll work till then. First impressions (previous tire was the glorious Nitto G2): edge of the...

Not being funny but is there such a thing as IAT2 for centrifugal SCs, a way to measure the air temp after the compressor at or near the intake manifold? I've never really bothered to learn about it.

Well nuts. Thanks for clarifying, that would've been my preference. Next time 😜

Agreed with what you said and appreciate the response. I was dealing with some false knock that obliterated my performance, which I was able to track down and eliminate. I did end up getting some phenolic spacers (thermal gaskets, whatever you want to call them) but haven't put them on yet...
