ouch...hope there isnt much damage. i witnessed this happened to a 4runner on the freeway not too long ago....the tire was going at about 40mph down the freeway while the 4runner was on its rotor/hub on the side of the road.

Yeah guys I just got home...Make sure you check your studs and rotors on your cars because they rust easily and will fall off like mines did. My wheel flew half way down the street and the car fish tailed but I managed to steer it into a plaza.

I'm glad to hear that you're safe! I've always been worried of that happening.

This happened to me. I bet your lug nuts weren't torqued correctly....studs don't just "rust" and fall off. Good thing they're $1.85/ stud! Sucks that happened. Mine destroyed my wheel, studs, and rotor.

New way to stop fast, eject all 4 wheels lmao.

To OP: Nice save being able to take her into a safe location. Would have been terrible if this happened in a high speed zone.
