Blowout this morning

[jbergb5]

My day started great...
West bound on the 91 this morning at 5:30 and hit a large chunk of steel. Thought everything was OK and then the TPS went off. Pulled over and a big chunk of rim lip gone on the left rear....So I'm in the hunt for a replacement 5Zigen Sport Engine today. Hopefully Wheel Warehouse has one in stock or can get it this afternoon. Now I feel better with getting this rant out

Road debris. Sorry to hear that.

Look on the brighter side that you didn't lost control and hit another car.

Hmm.. pics?

I feel your pain... I've had 4 flats in the last year. The TPS saved me each time. No telling how fast I would have been going when the tire went flat had I not known... scary. LOVE TPS !

Several times I was tempted to get the goo thing put in my tires so when there is a flat the goo come out and fill/fix the tire. But not sure how well it work or if it work at all.

Yeah road debris which left a long big scratch on my rocker panel (not much exposed to naked eyes though)

Just got off the phone with 5Zigen..luckily they are close by in Carson. They have two wheels left in the US like mine. Found out the Sport Engine wheels are being discontinued.
So I'll pick up the wheel at the 5Zigen HQ and bring it down to Wheel Warehouse this afternoon. Hopefully no damage to the tire, but I have a road hazard warranty on the tires. A lot of hassle because some lam idiot can't secure the cargo in his truck. I'll try to grab a couple pics while I'm there.
Thanks for all the support

I feel the pain for all the troubles you're going through. Since the rims are discontinued you might as well pick-up 2 of them to use as a spare.

lammydi...Took your suggestion and picked up the last wheel they had for a spare. 1/2 off so it was a no brainer.
I did have to replace the tire but it only cost me $20 bucks with the road hazard warranty. I did pull the other 3 tires and had them checked for damage and rebalanced. Everything is back to normal now. Wasn't worth taking any pics though.
I'm still waiting for H&R to release springs for the V6. Don't want to go the TRD/Eibach route.....Everyone thanks for the feedback

No pic of the damage? No pic of the new tire?
