watch your wheel studs

Tireman's right. I can see the conical taper in the photo.
I always worry about 'multi-fitment' wheels. Multiple lug holes for a variety of fitments, a non-hub centric bore so they fit multiple vehicles...
to me, form FOLLOWS function...once you decide on a wheel design you like, find a set that is properly deisgned for your model-specific vehicle, not for 30 others.
Just my 2 cents. at 75 mph, yes...it's worth the extra cost....to me.
Good luck with your dealer-battle. Most dealership service depts know about as much about wheels/tires/fitments/+ fitments as the kid at Jiffy Lube knows about degreeing in camshafts.
My point is...somewhere, someone made a mistake-either the offset is wrong, they were over-torqued, or there is a fitment issue.
definitely keep an eye on them, no matter what the dealer tells you.

They came PRE INSTALLED by Dealer
my service guy took care of me 'no charge' and told the mechanic when he could show him cross threading or stripped he'd charge me, needless to say, I won. I got a car wash too but I do every time I take mine in. Phil takes care of me Any more trouble, bring her in he said.
Clearly a good deal of you have been screwed by your dealer/s but in this case. My dealer has taken care of me in both vehicles I've gotten through them, without fight or hassle. sorry others haven't had that experience but in this case. It does not apply
