Tuner Lugs?

[Whos ur dadd]

So its 2 a.m. this morning - late night for work - and I decide to install my new rims and tires sourced from Tires23. I should be sleeping, but I get stupid like that...

So, jack up the car. Remove lugs. Remove tire. Mount new wheel. LUGS DON\'T FIT. Although the lugs are tapered, they really don\'t fit that well into the hole. Also, because of the size of the lugs, you can\'t get the socket around it because the rim gets in the way...

So, I need tuner lugs? I\'ve heard of the term before, but don\'t know what they are. I\'ll be giving Martin a call for sure this morning... Grrr!!!!

new rims eh.. and no sneak preview.. damn no love for TM3 members.. i think we need to ban you a la M3F style :) j/k bro.. i guess the wife doesn\'t know about this purchase yet huh? :D so was that instead of a year\'s worth of supplies for the little one?

too bad that tires23 didn\'t inform you that you\'d need tuner lugs or supply them.. find out fast.. i wanna see them rims :)

There\'s a reason for the lack of a sneak preview. I\'m replacing my 15\" donuts with more donuts!!! Nothing to write home about.

Racked with guilt about spending baby\'s tuition money, I bought lower end BSA rims, but only in 16\" size. Got some good Fuzion ZRi summer rubber though. I wanted to keep things lighter weight and affordable. However, the 16\'s have a polished lip, so they do look smaller than true 16\'s I guess! Thus, I\'ve managed to retain the donutty look that I love oh so much... ;)

I really want to put on the chrome door handles at the same time to balance out the polished lips... and then a 30% tint ... where does it end....

tuition money? i thought that was depleted already and you were taking away the baby\'s food money (well for now your wife\'s boob so i guess that would mean HER food) :p

anwyay..

those tuner lugs can really cost a bunch of money...i really appreciate the guy that sells me my rims that he throws in free mounting and balance and the lugz too. my buddy had to buy some and i couldnt believe the cost. all just for a little piece of metal, but then again cars don\'t work well if they turn into a tri-pod
