My egear light went on in first gear from a traffic light, and the car started moving super slow. I pulled over and called a flatbed to take it to Lambo dealer.

The dealer is saying that lambo n.a. stated its related to the 20" wheels and offset on the car. They are debating today and tomorrow if they're going to cover it under warranty.

Then again, I did not have any eGear lights come on until I put the wheels on the car. ANyone with 20" wheels with eGear have this issue?

Man I hope the details aren't serious of what happened.

OUCH!

 

hope everything works out for you.. honestly, i don't think wheels could have caused the problem.. but i don't know.

 

I can't see why that would have any effect on the trany. The overall dim. should be the same as the orig. wheel and tires. I have after market wheels on ALL my cars and have never had an issue.

Of course the rep from the dealer always says "I'm not sure if that puts your car out of warranty" I usually tell them to go F*** themselves, respectively and find someone their that loves cars almost more than getting that extra commission from your service cost.

It will be based on your relationship with your service rep at the dealer.

 

:| that sucks Shank, I hope the car is ok. Did you tow it to Lamborghini Chicago?

 

that really sucks.

 

Warranty will void if the wheels are different size front and rear as that brings stress to the tranny? ... Thought I read this somewhere ...

 

My dad ordered a Lambo...when he asked about after market wheels, they clearly stated that any after market wheel will void the warranty

 

it sucks to won a lambo i guess.... thatjust blows man... hope they cover that.. which i think they shouold

 

Seems like I have to take off my wheels before service....

 

Not anymore, Lamborghini USA monitors this board and you just voided your warranty!

J/K

 

the things we do for love. (i.e. 20'')

 

Did you put 20's all around?

 

Allan...he has 20's all around

 

I think the proper size is 20" rear and 19" front - just like the Murcielago. If you are over 5% off the diameter, no bueno for the tranny

 

I don't think the diameter of the wheel makes as much of a difference as the tire that goes around it. The overall rolling diameter of the wheel/tire combination is what's crucial, not just the wheel sizes.
