ohhhhhhh snap!!!!!!!!! it went clean threw. i think its repairable, since it made such a clean hole

 

This is a 1 in a million misfortune. Luckily the bolt did not come through the windshield and hit you in the head.

Your car is insured correct?

 

i say its fixable...car is probably insured but probably not to cover the wheels unless u specifically had them insured...i never do

 

are u sure those are volks? it shouldnt have pierced through if they are. If they are, they are volks, dont worry they are covered under warranty

 

Holy smokes! I have the Phantom/Formula Silver GT-S's as well, beautiful wheels...I understand your pain!

 

damn. thats crazy. What are the odds of that???

 

im 100% sure those are volks i even called mackin and they said this is nuts and they never seen it before !

 

Damn that is nuts! But I do see a lot of construction/garbage haulers that loose **** on our freeways daily. It sucks too because in CA there are hardly any laws that protect our rights as drivers from this stuff from happening. Unless you saw this bolt fall off a truck, and can prove it, this will come out of your pocket. I feel your pain and I hope this will not cost you a lot of cash.

 

Holy crap, and never seen it

 

Know your pain! Recently hit a truck tire tread in heavy traffic and it ripped my bumper up, the liner underneath and caused an exhaust leak on my 07 HR with only 9,950 miles on it all you can do is eat it. Granted it's not a damaged volk but still I have to put the money up for a new bumper/paint and exhaust.

 

Holy crap! That's crazy. I don't even think mythbusters can duplicate that one lol

 

Damn!

 

Thats impressive. Here in NY I hear all sorts of stories of people running over random stuff but what you've got there is like a million to one shot lol.

Should be repairable though with a good shop.

 

Your wheel has rematerialized at the wrong time. Just turn the phantom mode back on and pull it out.

 

Right? That is what it looks like lol... Scottie beamed his wheel back on top of a bolt.

 

wow, good luck fixing that

 

any recommendation to a repair shop that is capable in fixing my wheel ? so cal =)

 

I don't know of any in so cal to recommend but there are alot I know I could fix it. I've seen this happen before, not often. Ive seen a sledgehammer lodged in a wheel before LOL
