Better offset, lip, I don’t need 10 lb wheels for my DD. Basically I bought these because my car isn’t anywhere near ready for anything. It’s a stock drivetrain miata. I’m collecting forged internals and turbo parts but it’s going to be a while before I’m ready for all of that since I’m paying off my truck. The 15x8 +20 I got will fit awesome with the tires I got and they’re not going to break the bank. They’re lighter than most reps at 13.5 lbs as opposed to XXRs at like 16-17 lbs. Rota has some nice reps but they’ve gone up in price. I also got free shipping on these. :dunno ---

I always antiseize my lug bolts. I’ve seen too many of them break on Audi/VW vehicles. If the wheel is properly torqued with the proper seat lug for the wheel (ball or cone), the seat is what holds the lug in place. That’s my guess anyway. Never had a problem with a wheel coming loose or a broken bolt. ---

You do have to remember however that a lubricated stud has a different torque than a dry stud. So if it is say 50ftlbs dry, it may only be 30ftlbs wet. So by torquing to 50ftlbs you are actually over-torquing the nut. ---

Well wheels I put on have ten lug nuts and they get set to 500ftlbs. I’ve seen them come loose. We check 2 days after they go back into service and you’d be surprised how loose they get when lubed. ---
