yea...it sucks! It's to the point where I can only go 55 in the rain, even with street tires on. I've come to the realization that if I go over 55, then I just imagine I'm just driving a boat (swaying back and forth) LOL.

With the bad, comes the good tho! Post pictures of the new rims.

that sucks to see man. Definitely something you learn, hopefully not the hard way, that big tires float a lot better on water than skinny tires do when you own a mustang and upgrade rims.

Yep, you fcked up that rim. Plus you gotta a lug nut missing. Looks like it didn't break the stud, just backed off.. Hmmm

No, I took the lock nut off. Sears should have the tires in soon. Rims are in standby mode...

That really sucks, makes me not want to mess with it anymore.
Since a lot of our roads have like tire ditches where it's been driven on to much. If it has a puddle of water my car will hydro plain and sometimes I make it. When I don't have control of it or can't stop, I freak out, but stay calm. ahha

glad your okay.
