You need to learn not to be so thin skinned. Reacting like this makes you look like an even bigger idiot than those wheels do.

Oem lugs generally have a different taper than aftermarket wheels. Determine if your lugs are conical or ball, and then check the wheel, your most likely mismatched and the wheels will possibly work themselves loose again.

Not all that true. VW/Audi, Honda/Acura, and Mercedes are the only big carmakers that use ball seat lug nuts/bolts. BMW, along with everyone else and just about every aftermarket wheel, use cone seat lugs.

I thought the moderators are supposed to put such posters in "timeout" like the 5 year olds they appear to be......

Yes, the wheels are conical, got a couple of new lugs from my BMW tech down the street to replace the damaged ones and ordered up a set hub centric rings, again, thanks to all that offered up viable assistance...

Go pay to be on E30tech.

Nope. This is r3v, not bf.c.

As you can see already, this forum is more loose than others. While that means all the asshats and bandwagoners show, it's also having more freedom of speech and opinion we value. Thick skin helps a lot here as there are quite a bit of children around, but if you stay you might loosen up and have a bit of fun too. The wheels do look like ass, but hey they work and were cheap right?

Yeah, no. Moderation consists of people like you leaving.

Had not torqued them will give that a try...


Lugs seem to go in their full depth, the wheel is not too thick at the hub...

They seem to go hard back...

I thought they looked decent, especially for $125 bucks, plus they are giving me another full set of tires for them....

where's a giant facepalm pic when you need one?

[cabriodster87]

I tightened them with my torque wrench and they are secure now, thanks to those that know how to offer assistance with out being an ass....^^

Woaa, hold on there. who's fault is it? I love garbage wheels, as long as they are true, at least i can bolt them on my car properly. Just apologize, excuse your bad taste and give thanks. Move on.
