Something I just thought of is maybe your aftermarket wheels had plastic hub centric rings and that one stayed on the hub?

I don't think they did, I'm willing to bet I stripped the splines on that one stud and just got lucky that it tightened up without them. I'll have the shop check it out when I put the black ones on. The car does sit outside all winter so it's probably time for new ones, sigh, these rims just got more pricey. But still cheaper than getting brand new black ones.

Rims look sweet def!! Not sure what happened with your lug nut?! Can't tell unless you had some pics or something. Hopefully nothing major once you do get it checked out.

Got them installed today, and the bolts were all fine, not sure what my problem was but we checked all the bolts and they were all fine. Don't mind the dirty car!

I think that it looks way better than the chrome, looks really good! Now you've got to spray that fuel door black

Or you could go to town with black badges, tinted lights and windows, and really black it out.

Gold would be cool and different. I've seen some people use bronze as well which looks really nice.
