Now I'm looking for a shop in Maryland to mount and balance them. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I'm located in Pasadena so anywhere near there would be awesome.
They have a plastic ring you need to check that its attached to the wheel, and also uses washers to center the lugs. Lugs do deform when you use too much force, and then ya gotta buy new ones. Watch out for too much torque on lug nuts.
The thing you need to make very sure of is the lug nuts are drilled straight and centered. Visually inspect each lug and make sure the threads are centered in each lug body (equal area around the sides). Hope that makes sense, if not I have some randoms laying around I can take pictures of.
If you don’t do this, not only will the lugs go on hard, you will most likely strip a stud or break one off when trying to remove the lug. This is the issue people have with racestar wheels most often.
I had to buy 2 sets of 10 lugs to find enough lugs I was happy with to put the rears on and the same can be said for the fronts.
The lugs were indeed a PITA on the first go around. Definitely though I stripped a stud but when I took off the lug all was good on all 10 of them. Can't wait to get to the track.
Looks awesome!!! I just picked these up yesterday, now I have to strip all the white powdercoat off my 20x9 front welds and decide what color to go with ......
