    Discount code is only available on EBAY Discount Tire Direct - CTIRES316. Offer ends tomorrow. I found the code on this site. Can be used on purchases of 400 or more. Can be used 3 times per ebay account. I bought 2 sets of tires, each with 2 tires. Also bought these Level 8 wheels.

    Well, that is unfortunate for me - Guess I will have to make something. Plastidip? Rattle can? We shall see!

    @TacoFNG I made my own in a way. I have the black MK 6's as well. I bought some black vehicle vinyl that's used to do wraps and took the original center caps and traced around them with a pen. I cut them out and bought TRD center cap size decals off ebay in red and stuck them to the center of the cap after wrapping them in the vinyl. They've been that way for over 2 years now and many washes...still looks great. Just an idea....

    A+ for creativity. I saw some of those emblems for sale on ebay as well. Might have to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

    What did you use for Lugnuts on your Level 8 wheels?

    Did you have to get the extended thread design? The ones I looked at were 12MM X 1.5 inch, and had .25 inch extra thread. I only saw packs of 20 from gorilla, not 24.

    Your caps look really good. That is pretty much the look I have in mind. Again, good job on the fabrication.

    They were Gorilla Spline Tuner locking lug nuts...12mm x 1.5 acorn. I bought 24 at the time. They were about $44.

    The ones I bought were not extended that I remember. They did not come in the factory packaging when I bought mine...I didn't care though...it would be thrown away anyway.

    According to Discount Tire rep, post #53, yes, these are hub centric wheels.

    The past two days have not been my days. 527824d0249d7c277f5e5ab05a84c28e_635756bc572d953e92059b13507346ddc8603844.jpg
    The tire shop won't cover a replacement and said when I get the new one they will mount an balance it for free and didn't charge me today. They said it was my fault cause I didn't have all matching lug nuts. I have 4 locks and the rest normal et gorillas. They said the key socket was short and there impact hit the wheel. But the other three are fine I ordered another wheels looks like I'll have a matching messed up spare if I need it.
