Thread: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade~Can i get a freaking break!!~

neo chrome lugs. kics or mutekis.

i run kics r40 on my car. they're for ballers.

Alix0r, can you weigh the rim. I am tired of staring at my calipers here. If those rims are not overweight I might just order a set.

Sorry but one more question. Can these rims take the normal sized lug nuts or do they need the tiny ones? I have chrome McGuards. Hoping they will fit.

regular sized lugs are lame. you need some open ended extended lugs.

and not aluminum. aluminum ones suck.

yes, seriously.

its a shame that the wheels i run have such deep lug recesses...you cant really see them...

I had red extended lugs on my car up till a week ago, then all 5 stripped and lost my wheel. Yes they were steel and tight, I'm no trusting Muteki right now, I still want to get some other set. I loved how they looked.

didnt you do your front hubs before? i smell cheap chinese studs.

That's like the third time I've done the hub now, stocker went out, replaced with a cheap one, cheapo went out, ran the NAPA premium one, it ate it for obvious reasons. And it wasn't the studs that stripped, the lugs did.

i bought expensive ones so i could not break them.

watch me break them.

That's what I ran for a long time, and they're about to go back on lol

black is going to wear off the lug nuts anyways. Just go chrome
