They were conical. Looks like shop torqued them down too much and now they're slightly damaged... though they can still be used.

A waste of $180.

[Bandigo]

So now they are even more unsafe :/?

They can still be used on aftermarket wheels. Just don't use them on stock wheels without washers otherwise they'll get damaged more.

Example of moderate damage:

Going to return them tomorrow morning, ill drive slow for my own safety, bastards sold me this without a clue.

Return used and damaged lugs? Good luck with that.

Chances are they probably didn't even know you needed them. Just pick up a set of the washers... should run you about $20.

Also good to have for spare tire for people who run aftermarket wheels... or just carry a set of ball seat lugs.

Personally, I think they look "meh" at best. That's me...personally. Who cares what I think? Why do you care what anyone else thinks? As it turns out, asking may've been the right thing to do, but I'll never understand the "what do you think" and "what mods do I get" posts. If the money's burning that much of a hole in your pocket--but you have no idea what to get or why--give it to someone who can use it.

If im reading correctly you paid a shop for LUG NUTS INSTALLED... So under that assumption Id Return them.

Had you ordered them from EBAY not knowing yo needed the 45 deg versus the 60, then I would say GOOD LUCK.


But $180 USD for lug nuts wold be Insane to start with and now if you decided you wanted to sell thm used the wqorth goes wayy down because they were incorrectly installed.

Take one off-- you can do it without jacking it up--but just one lug nut!!

Y would u spend $180 on lugnuts? I would of use that $ for few mods.

Folks, thanks for all your help, i have removed the lug nuts and will not use them again unless my car suddenly turns blue or i order adapters, you've made my car safer to drive.

About the price, lets not forget that this is Dubai, and shipping costs a fortune if you account for weight. the bloody dealership sells a whole set for $250

So no luck returning them?
