So I just bought some new wheels. 17" gunmetals to replace my 17" silver Enkei's. Anyway I sold my Enkei's to my friend, but he couldn't get his on b/c his steering was all screwed and didn't want to risk getting the wheels messed up. So we left them on my car. When I got my car lowered the shop apparently torqued the HELL out of most of my lugs. So tight in fact that an impact gun couldn't budge them, and the guy told me I had two options. 1) Mig weld two spots on the inside of the lug to help grab the impact gun's hex. (the problem with this being, I don't want anything to happen to the wheels I just sold to my friend) 2) Drill out the bolts and replace all the studs. (the problem with this being, the mechanic estimated 100-300 bucks) So I'm pretty pissed. Not to mention that I bought my wheels 38 days ago, and received them 33 days ago, and have yet to put them on b/c UPS dropped one, %&@# the thing up, and still haven't replaced it. I'm sorry I just needed to explain all this to people that might have an idea of what I'm going through, and understand all my frustration. By the way, always use Fed-Ex and don't buy from Wheelmax.com, and stay away from AutoCraft if you're ever in Rolla, MO. Thanks for reading.
