the rims paint comes off with the slightest touch.. and the holes for the lugs are just big enough to fit the socket thing meaning any rubbing will damage the finish of the rims

after removing the rim i thought wow...these rims are like toys and painted with no primer nor clear coat... i thought my body panel paint was cheap...wait til you see ur rims...

So you actually figured out how to use the factory lug nut remover?

I stared at the thing and could not figure out how the crap it works... Awkward tool.

I've been using a torque wrench with a regular socket to remove my lug nuts.

actually ive never replaced a wheel in my life before alone, but this time i did alone had no problem with the factory lug remover, found it quite easy actually

but the main concern is the rims...crappy piece of metal with paint just layed on it...absolutely rediculous quality of paint on the wheels

u almost scratch hte rims with ur finger nails...and no not hancocks
