    I was told not too use an impact on that style of lug nut ,which is the same as I have,and I have never had a problem with mine using just a torque wrench,which is what Discount tire used also.Impacts are just too damn aggressive.

    If you turn down the torque/speed on the impact, you should be able to have it just tap, tap, tap and pop it loose without issue if it's not torqued on beyond normal specs.

    that wheel didn’t look too bad for the fuckery that you had to do in there! Good job. A lesson I’m sure OP and many others will not soon forget!

    I havent started shopping yet. At this point, I think I may have to get the same ones and just make sure to torque them properly this time. If you find any different brand, please let me know.

    John, you have to be the most calm, good-natured fella I've ever seen. I think I would have lost my mind. Way to hang in there!

    It's just a spline lug right or is it a special spline lug?

    12 x 1.5 extended thread. Nothing special to them. At least not that I am aware of but I have never have these spline drive before so I dont have a wealth of knowledge about them.
