I use a gun sometimes to remove the lugs but never to put them back on. Most the time I just use the 4 way.

I always do... except last time...
The tire place I normally use is usually very careful with my wheels. I watch them like a hawk, but they had always done a really good job.
When I had the tires mounted, the guy was super careful of the painted lip.

So the other day, I finally decided they were trustworthy enough, and dropped the car off for a rotate&balance.

Words of wisdom guys: Never trust anyone ever.

They banged paint off almost every lug well on all 4 wheels

Simple solution is to take your wheels to a shop the deals with nice custom wheels not Firestone.

Chad is right. Go to a place that sells 24"+ wheels bc they will have the adapters and the heads that wont scratch the wheels

Good morning

Long day at work for me today and tomorrow, 9-8 both days.

Infiniti is sending the sales staff to training in Ft Lauderdale this coming Thursday and Friday so I'm pretty excited. Going to see if I can meet up with some of the SFL guys
