[quote=“02AccordCoupe,post:16,topic:28485"”] Are you paul? I could snap a shot, i didnt touch it yet beacouse im scared of what i might find ☹ It might be alright, but… I dont know… Its all white scratchey and scrapey like, not a chunk missing or anything, just i know its there… [/quote] no, but I’m the mechanic there and can relay the message and/or try to help you out. It may just be a surface scratch from plastic (he uses plastic lined lug sockets) but it usually wouldn’t be white…It still may come off with a light buff if it’s not deep. as for that stuck nut, the welding idea is a great one as well. And perhaps can be done for you in reparations for a damaged rim 😉 ---

[quote=“02AccordCoupe,post:12,topic:28485"”] If one broke, id say the other ones might be due to break too, i have no clue how old they are or w/e but id replace them if one of mine broke… [/quote] No, it broke because he cross-threaded it. The other lugs are fine. ---
