Well, just replaced my rear passenger wheel and hub.
I had my 20' Vorsteiner wheels get replacement tires and brought it to a shop I usually go to. The kids used an impact gun to remove the lugs and one snapped.
He continued to remove the others no problem, did. his work, and reinstalled with the impact gun.
Took the car into Tesla to look at the damaged one. Paid $2400 for Tesla to destroy the wheel, remove it, replace damaged hub, and ordered a new wheel.
Come to find out the front two wheels have 2 broken lugs as well.
Trying to get ideas on how to approach this before dropping another $4800.
The lugs were the spline lock type, and I was told by Tesla and the shop I got the wheels from (not the shop that broke the lug) that the lug nuts need to be torqued BY HAND to 129ft/lb and to remove BY HAND.
Fun times and now im sketchy about using this set up again but stock is so ugly.....
Any ideas?
