Black Rhino Armory wheels

You have a point, but being that you're using the taper of the lug nut, and locating it into the tape of the wheel, I feel confident. I have no reason to believe my cheapish wheels hub bore is any more accurate than the lug seats. That being said, next time they're off, I just might throw on some hub rings to see if it makes a difference. Although with my clapped out M/T's, I doubt I'd notice a difference.

 

My only "reluctance" is that the only ones I had were bootleg looking plastic ones, and I was excited to get my cool, fancy new wheels on.

 

I wasn't challenging anything you said. There is no reason that conical lug nuts can't be just as accurate at locating the wheels. They definitely need to be tighten in a pattern. I go half tight, then full tight. The problems come from using washer type nuts with poorly fitting hubs. My comment was more of a general statement that aftermarket stuff requires some thinking because unlike OEM, it often does not get tested on particular vehicles. Some aftermarket stuff makes me wonder whether the designers ever actually installed it at all.

 

Thats a good point. As much water and mud as my truck sees, I guess the plastic ones would indeed be a better option for that reason.

Agreed. Since OP doesn't seem to have much experience in this area, thats why I suggested buying from a dealer. Hopefully OP is able to gain some knowledge on the subject at the same time.

 

Well, I'm glad everything is working out for you.
