so yesterday i finally got the center caps and lugs in the mail...
fitted the center caps and put the wheels on then just did a quick torque with a 1/2 ratchet
so ive never had this happen before but maybe the first one was a fluke?
nope.
i guess dont buy lugs on amazon? LOL
i obviously didnt feel safe running those crappers so i called to complain and was refunded right away actually.
so thats nice.
called the local VatoZone and they could get the ones i needed next day but wouldnt let me just pay over the phone...
sooooo i had to hustle and put the 18" fronts back on and jam over there before they closed.
picked up the new lugs on my lunch break and put the fronts after work tonight.
only snapped a quick pic before i went out and did burnouts all around the block...you know to test that the wheels were seated.
