I thought it was you Ike. I was remembering the rims you were selling, that's why I thought of it.
Ellis, if you look at Begles rims, I think those are the shank type, no taper to the hole.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

I can't tell from the pic on this tiny screen. Idk but if they are for shank style nuts I'd put a for sale sign on them.

The holes have a little taper in the middle of them, and they have big flat shoulders too. Tapered nuts definitely centered them up okay.

How do OEMs wheels not have this problem? Are those two-piece lugnuts that much better?

Then there's folks, like poor MHuppertz from DTR, who lose their aluminum wheel, go to chase it down and someone stops and STEALS it right before their very eyes! :evil:

Maybe next time you'll put some strawberry jam on them?
