Possible Vandalism...
Just wanted some opinions here.
Rear right tire was wobbling bad and the car is not driveable. Had the car towed to a local dealership and they told me there is 1 lug nut missing from each wheel, but the rear right one had 3-4 missing.
They claimed the car can be driveable for awhile with 3-4 lug nuts missing, but once the wheel was rubbed raw on the inside that's when it started to wobble.
I'm trying to get a timeline on when the possible vandalism could have happened. I haven't taken it anywhere since I purchased the car that would take the wheels off. There was no audible noises on the purchase date and nothing a few months after. This had to have happened recently.
I'm curious since the wheel started to wobble Tuesday morning if it happened Monday night?
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by rubbed raw before it wobbled? Are you saying negative camber was a culprit?
No car should be driven with 3-4 lugs missing bro. Someone def took them, this could be classified as more than vandalism, possibly an attempt to harm you.
Any ex GF's? Rivals?

I just spoke with the service manager and he said the lug nuts hallowed out, creating an oval shape since I drove on it. Because of that they want to charge me $900 for a new wheel.
Also the studs were damaged.He is strongly doubting vandalism and saying that he believes the lug nuts were just simply not tightened enough. He is checking the car, talking to the foreman now, to see if the lug nuts were simply missing or just not tightened.

Well..... That could have ended a lot worse. $900 for a new wheel? Hell, thats almost a 3rd of the cost of a new set of Vossens. Check the classifieds, people are always selling off their OEM wheels around here.
