My parents were driving home from Vegas and had a blowout at around 50 miles out. They drove home on the rim at 15-20 mph for the next 70 miles. (On the shoulder.) Thank God they made it home.
The new rim was cheaper than a tow, and they got home a lot faster than waiting for a tow truck. It started life as a 15 inch rim, but is now around 12.5" - 14" depending on how you measure it. I am open to offers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)        |
