You used tuner lugs for those wheels? I hope you didn't damage the lug seats...

Okay I had an situation with my wheels I was on the freeway and one of the freakin wheels came of i think it was the lugs but not sure what it was well right before i was suppose too sell them like one buyer was ready i damaged it but now i only have three rims the tires are minimal and I am selling the three rims for lik $300 with w.e tires is left or best offer someone can give me. And its a good deal cuz u can buy an oem rim for lik $100 or less from junk yard and powder coat it i know some one that does it also if you want to powdercoat them if you find an oem rim. So let me know shoot me a best offer! thanks

I'm pretty certain your wheel fell off because of your lugs... like I mentioned in my earlier post. At least you weren't hurt....

You won't be able to torque your lugs even with a torque wrench. The design of the tuner lugs (what you have) will not seat correctly on the second gen OEM wheels from Infiniti. The more you trying to tightened the lugs, the more you will damage the lug seats. My suggestion? I'd go look for a set of OEM lugs.



That's what the OEM lugs look like.

And for comparison, this what a conventional tuner lug looks like.



Clearly you can see, with OEM lugs, you'd have to have the washer part sit flush against the lug seat where as the tuner lug does not have this feature. The result is that your tuner lug will constantly eat through the lug seat of the OEM wheel and eventually damage the wheel. This not only does not tighten the wheel correctly, but also will come loose over time.


I think you're like 10th person I'm trying to convince not to use tuner lugs on OEM wheels. lol

Good luck with your car.
