While coating them with Meguiar’s NXT Generation tech wax paste, I noticed the quality isn’t what I expected.
As long as they don’t chip or swell (can these?) then I’m happy.

Those don't look like a bulged style nut, which is what the wheels were designed for. A lot of people have gotten away with a non-bulged style, but you won't have full seat contact.

Gorilla rep swears they work with the OEM wheels.

Don't remember, I used the vehicle selection menu on what ever website I bought them from 3 years ago.

thanks. Same seat! Appreciate it.
I don’t live or go in areas where my wheels would get stolen...most likely. But I figured I would try The System anyway.

These PVD wheels are expensive and harder and harder to find good used ones.

The bulge on yours looks a little short no? You can see the line on how much contact the OEM rims actually use.
The lugs me and RNL have are the thinner ones for aftermarket rims, a completely different style.
