Just a Quick Warning (Raven Black Inspyres)

I have some 19 inch RonJon raven black inspyres on my 07 tl-s and i got a flat this week. When i brought out the lugnut wrench that comes in the spare tire kit it didnt fit in the holes on the inspyres, it was just slightly too big. I dont know if this is true for all the inspyre wheels but just wanted to give my fellow TLers a heads up. im lucky i wasnt too far from home, otherwise i dont know what i would have done.

Yeah, most aftermarket rims' lug holes will be too small for our spare tire iron. I found out the hard way when I had scraped my Hiros doing that. D'oh!

Yeah, when I had my tuner lugs installed, they told me I needed a special gorilla? wrench to change the lugs. Bought one in case I ever get a flat or something.
