> [@Nis240](#): > > how is camber gonna effect the rim? Because the weight of the car isn’t ditributed evenly across rim. If he was running demon camber, whenever he’d hit a bump the impact would mostly be on the inside of the rim. Add the fact that camber like that will shorten the inside sidewall (by bulging it out from most of the weight on it) and you have a recipe for busted ass rims. It’s not rocket science. Look at the bead where it pulled apart, the rim was obviously damaged on something. Rim beads don’t just fold in by themselves. ---

Yeah that was pretty crazy seeing the rim rolling down the road and the sparks everywhere. I was in the White GTZ that stopped and helped you look for your rim dude. ---

I know you didnt do it on purpose, but EVERYTHING that has happened could have been prevented. Your buddy who brought the car out to UC when you were borrowing his GT-R knew that you were missing studs/lugs, and anyone that glanced at your car could see the camber/toe problems. The other rim with a giant chunk missing… just not safe. It was a danger to be on the road in that condition. ---

The other rim with a giant chunk missing… just not safe. It was a danger to be on the road in that condition. if you had taken an even closer glance at the rims you would have noticed that they were changed due to the condition they were in…the studs i have no idea how they broke off but they were missing when i had gotten the car back which either happend when i had the car and didnt know about it, or while he was using it…either way what happend happend and nothing can change it…i have taken the car in the check everything on it and the only thing wrong is in fact the brakes rotor… also if chris (redbaron) is on this forum can you please stop being an asshole to me…i dont think i did anything to you for this…you have posted at least 3 different places on 780tuners just being a plain dick to me…things happen im sure your not perfect ---

Well you knew that the car only had 2 lugs and you chose to drive it anyways. That was just a dumb move on your part. ---

An amazing machine, [Shaw Communications](http://members.shaw.ca/typh00n/180.htm) , has turned into nothing but a parts car simply from negligence in my eyes. To me Redbaron is just more vocal in how he feels about your actions and the end result of the 180. :? It’s too bad…This was one of the 180s that I had considered importing, but Typhoon got to it before me. ---
