Stock lugnuts are ball shaped. Every aftermarket wheel I have ever seen is meant to use a conical shaped lugnut.



Good job on the wheels.

For the most part... Aftermarket wheels = aftermarket lugnuts - Stock wheels = stock/OEM lugnuts.

Let me break it down for you:

1. We have an APC forum here, no need to fill the tech thread with DIY rim job

2. A Palm Treo and a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi are far from being $1300; even when you combine the cost of the two, you are no where near that price tag

3. Try again, junior

"Again"? When have I been a dick in the past to you? If you remember a specific example, there appears to be a common denominator to our problem.


There is no way that your sister's lens cost $900, good try.

You're an idiot, it's OK. I know exactly what camera he took the images with, and I have a pretty good idea which lens he used (Canon 18-200 f/3.5). Both of which, when combined, don't get you close to $1300.

see below: OP brought up the cost of the camera.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

not that it is of any relevance but the lense that you just stated he has runs 699.95 on cameta. add roughly 50 or more bucks if purchased at best buy, circuit city, etc. then add the body that you yourself KNOWS he has and its 589.95.....again add more if bought in store. he says its his sisters camera therefore she probably bought it in store and not craigslist, ebay, or some other online seller. no matter how you look at it, it does basically total 1300 bucks. NOT THAT IT F****** MATTERS!

to the original poster...........the quality looks good of the paint and work. good job man

Wheels look great! Makes me wanna paint mine that color.

And who gives a crap about how much the camera costs? If it cost $1300 or $13 it should be no relevance to this thread and definitely not worth arguing about.

Man sicky is a DICK! But it looks like you did a really good job on the paint... I personally think the wheels look too small for your car unless you lower it more..but you already stated you don't want to do that... I wish they made group n's in 16's
