after having these on for a bit over a month, i have one question/concern.
i'm not sure if i'm the only person that had an issue with this, but the nuts tightened themselves to well over 100 lbs/ft after first fitment (i torqued them with a wrench to 75-80 lbs/ft) i don't typically have access to an impact gun, so i attempted to remove them with a 6-point/breaker and ended up nearly rounding off about half the nuts (mixture of very shallow nuts and deep center wheels). i went ahead and purchased some 75mm nuts from motorsport tech (problem solved), but i was a little concerned with how soft the nuts were considering their shallow nature.1989 325is / 2.7, 274 cam, e30 M3 5-lug

The socket might have been bottoming out on the stud on the adapter so it could only grab onto half of the head or so which could cause it to weaken and round. With the entire head of the nut in the socket it will not round though."

This has probably been asked before, but do the 4x100 20 and 25mm spacers bolt to the hub, and then use a 2nd set of bolts to attach the wheel? Those are some fine looking spacers and the price can't be beat. It looks like that's how the 5-lug ones are but I couldn't find pics of the 4-lug ones.
Thanks in Advance,
