Issue was stripped lug nuts from over torquing when tires installed. Garage Guys recommended this company and warned that the wheels could be damaged during the process. Good news! Tony recognized how expensive the wheels were and took extra days and much caution to remove the lug nuts without any damage! Couldn't be a happier new customer!
