Should be picking them up Tuesday or Wednesday then I'll post up a pick of them installed! Got my wheels powdercoated. They were starting to rust through the chrome and wouldn't hold a bead because of it. Should get a few years more out of them now.

So I am driving to spokane right now using my old rims. I stopped after a while for fuel and decided to check and make sure the nuts were still tight on the bolts and I'm pretty sure I broke one off. It did tighten back up after I spun it a few times. Will I be ok the rest of the way?

Tough to say without knowing 100% what happened. You would think if it was broken it wouldn't snug back up.

Keep checking them for sure but I wouldn't feel safe if they are coming loose.

They are not all going loose, I checked them after driving for 100k after putting them on. That's what you should do with aluminum rims as they sometimes loosen up. While doing that one and only one came loose, like snapped then was loose. I was half way to spokane (almost there now) and so I checked to see if a tire shop was open near by. It's Sunday so there isn't. I figured what the heck and tried to tighten it again, this time I got it tight. Are there tabs or something on the back side that I may have brike on that one? Anybody know?

The studs would be splined so they won't spin. I'm not sure what would've happened but as long as it's tight you should be good.
