holy crap!
on another note i was dumb enough to have used wrong lug nuts on my wheels for a very long time. The seating for the OEM lug nuts for hondas are ball seats. The seating for my aftermarket wheels are conical. For some reason i didn't think about it when i bought the wheels and used them. I've always had a little 'wiggle' when i drove with these wheels at higher speeds, but i thought it had to do with the lack of hub-centric rings (had the on previous aftermarket wheels) and thought nothing of the lug nuts. Recently it occured to check the lug nut seats and i did buy conical lug nuts for these wheels. Before i bought the new lug nuts i traveled across the country with these wheels and used them on-track with the ball-seat lug nuts without losing a wheel or coming close to it. I guess you can call me lucky, or for it to not to matter as much as properly torquing down your lug nuts.
