How come they didn't send you the rim-specific lugs in the first place? Mine came with the rims. Those are smaller than the factory ones. You need a special extension to bolt/unbolt the lugs.

I called AKTUSA about my Altstadts and they said that if they needed special lugs, they would come with the rims. I put a rim on today to check the stock lugs and they fit, but the holes are so deep that I want to buy longer ones.
Nate E-mailed about the lugs and I was worried that would delay me even more.
Anyone have Gorilla Lugs? Good?

Yo Vic, sorry to hear about that man. I was there today with Bigmonkey70 when you got that little problem with your rims. Hope they send you the right lugs tomorrow.
BTW, those Kobe's were blinging!
