Spray ether into the tire to get it to explode, and reseat the bead of the tire on the rim.

Everything should be fine, maybe repack those wheel bearings, since the old grease seems to have, uh, burned up.



edit: I don't think I've ever seen a bolt pattern like that. 9 bolts?

Since I was gonna wait an hour, I decided to refill the washer fluid. You know, since it's been out for like a coupla months or so. Anyway now I know why I heard a gun shot earlier.

Like, man, the car was making a noise for a month or so and then this happened. The noise was like a brrrrrrrrrrrrr at times. I'd go around a corner and there'd it be, the damn noise again.
