If the hole isnt tapered turn the lugnut around.

thats the problem the socket won't fit aroun the lug nut when u flip it around. do u think it'll be fine for the time being?

Have fun getting that rim off!:eek: You'll have to beat your guts out to get it to come off......speaking from experience of course!

yep! on a regular aluminum rim when the tapered side of the lug nut is put on it pushes the aluminum on the wheel inward and makes it hard as hell to get off. i suggest a block of wood and a nice big hammer:p
