Almost ready for these..
Wednesday, July 12, 2006 6:30 AM
Finally got them test fitted on the car this morning, hopefully no rubs when the tires get ordered friday. Only problem I'm having is the tuner lugs that came with the rims are about 3mm too long, when fully seated the center cap won't sit flush with the rim...so I'm probably looking into sanding down the inside of the cap unless I get some pointers by then.

I mean the underside of the hub center cover, not the outside or the lug ends. But until I find what I can do ill keep looking around. Tuner lugs say M12x1.5 which is the recommended size and they are made for the rims. It isnt the length of the stud that is interfering either, when I just sit the lugs in the wheel off the car the cap still doesnt seat all the way but it seats fine without them. I'll probably run capless for a while if I don't figure it out by this weekend.

OK thanks to a very helpful ebay seller I figured out the lug deal. Turns out they chromed over the cap which you are able to use a punch to get off for fitment reasons. Couldnt even see the seem until I used an electric grinder to get the chrome covering off. I highly recommend this guy for anybody wanting a decent deal on rims/lugs/rings.

Guy is a powerseller 99.9% feedback so no worries, rims shipped day of payment and took exactly 4 days with ups ground from Ohio to Jersey.

Kindof sounds like I'm advertising for the guy, but I'm not...just my best ebay encounter yet

Should purchase some tires from WheelMax come payday.. Kumho ecsta 215/45/17H, finally a summer and winter set of wheels hehe.

my mcgard spline drive lugs are shorter than my old lugs i got from pepboys. Not sure of the exact measure ments on them, but they are insanly easy to put on the car.
