LugNuts Grinding Material Off New Wheels


Subru

Recommended Posts

So I went to fit my new (second hand) wheels and noticed when I was tightening the lug nuts, they were actually grinding material from the wheel where the nuts press against the wheel. Almost as if I need a bigger Lug nut or one with a different 'seat type'. I have done some googling but cant find much.

Wheels are SSR GTX02 if that helps.

 

Edit:

Link below shows different seat types. They both appear to have a conical seat but maybe different angles (45-60 degrees)

(wheels look dirty because a bunch of water got on them and tried to wipe off with a rag)

Pretty much any aftermarket spline drive nut.

 

Also sucks when tyre shops / mechanics use a impact gun to take them off, strips off paint 10 times worse than that. You literally have to tell people who work on your car to be careful with your s***.

 

expensive wheels and they treat them like steelies

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
