Lol. I've seen it done. Went to sears to pick one up. Damn those things are like $90. Said f&@k it and just used my best judgement and made them tight. Picks will come later today. Gotta drive back to the store and exchange one pack of lug nuts. Sold me 5 packs but one pack was the wrong threading. bronze Jdm aluminum extended forged lug nuts ftw
What have you done to your P5 today?

Torque wrenches are expensive, lol. Anytime I need to use one, I go borrow my brothers.
I was looking at some hard anodized lug nuts on ebay. What kind of brand is muteki? Any good? I'm also bidding on some used blue Work Emotion RS lock lug nuts.
hopefully I get them... They look sweet!!

You get what you pay for, I had a cheap torque wrench and now it's just a huge socket wrench, it doesn't click to tell you when it's tight enough.
if you got it from harbor freight, they have a lifetime warranty of their stuff...

I never knew that, I think there is one around here somewhere, I should check it out.
Well put on the mazda3 rims. Need some spacers. Need to be more flush with the fender. Probably going to the shop tomorrow to see what they got.
anyhow... here's a pic... color kinda changes because of the flash... there is a slight reflection in the color because of the reflective paint under the clear
here's a shot of the rim in the day time when it was freshly painted... probably take more pics tomorrow
