When i did a tire rotaion in my garage i had a hard time removing two lugs from the front right wheel which might be because they might be slightly bent. i ended up stripping two of the things that you screw the lugs onto so now the wheel is held on basically by three lugs(the other two are barely on). Im not sure what i should do exactly. Im just worried i will have to replace the whole unit that the wheel goes onto which will probably be expensive. Awards

But please make sure you get that shit fixed. That can be a bad thing. How did they get bent? Not a normal.... I never do aftermarket wheels... if low profiles like 50's or 45's.. you can bend a rim so easy. But I do love the RSX. Hope you have a stick.

Don't drive with bent ones, like Warface says, they WILL fail. A good 2lb hammer & punch will knock em' out. Bringing the new ones back to torque specs will seat them. BTW, Illinois roads aren't much better........ Awards
