Default rim problems!

i bought 15'' rota slipstreams(black) for my g2 ls. so recently i went to pep boys to get my driver side axle replaced. the guy told me that on my front passger side rim a couple of bolts were finger tight so he retightened(if thats a word) them. well on sunday b4 i went to the honda tech meet i was missin 2 bolts.

is it the rim or is someone tryin to rob me. if this rim problem has happened to someone please fill me in on what u did. thanks

was it missing from the same spot where it was tightened? probably your studs are stripped, or the nuts.

Make sure that all of your lugnuts are torqued to the proper specifications, and in the correct order. It could be that those two were defective in some way and only require replacement.

I highly doubt someone is trying to rob you and they keep failing.
That would be one **** *** theif.

Unitl you get the locks, I would switch lugs on a diff wheel to see if the problem
still exits

I would get locks, but that wont solve your problem. How will you know if
its bad lugs or if the locks stopped the "crappy theif" hahaha..
