I figured out the hardway why not to use stock wheel lugs - they usually are corroded and rounded out, which makes getting them off after having them airgunned impossible.[:@]

get new lugs when I got my car they impacted the lugs on a nd I could'nt get it off I had to beat a 16mm socket on the things and break them loose. Plus with a nice wheel like that why would you want the stock "black" bolts in there anyways
