keep the lug nuts tight!!!!! check them before every run you do!!! even two or three times in one day. i just destroyed a 2 hour old set of beadlocks :( . i dont want you to do the same thing... here is what mine look like now.

ill tell you why your holes wallowed out like that....its simply because your trying to used a taperd stock lug nut with them wheels and they aint made to use taperd lug nuts...you need to get a set of flat ones when your using anykinda aftermarket wheel like that...

Same here!!! then when i put the Honda rims back on i just turn them around.I have Douglas and oem so its easier then changing them all the time!never had a problem!

i had the nuts on backwards (correct way for the wheel) but have alwase had probs keeping them tight. do the Pro Lock wheels that ITP came out with have tapered holes? if they do i think i will get those ones.
