Can someone please decipher this?!
 
I think they should have an automatic speech corrector every time you post so that normal literate folk like 90% of us can understand.........
 
maybe when they say "special", they mean "metric"^_^
 
Or maybe by special they mean your a dumb ass if you pay extra money for anything besides a std lug.

The only thing that I could think of is that on some Civics that have steelies and hub caps actually have a little rubber ring around them that holds the cap to the rim, instead of the typical ring and snap on the cap.

Oh, you OBVIOUSLY have a great understanding of cars and especially the mechanics of simple nuts and bolt.

The lug nut has a tapered end on it, this end goes into the opposite taper shape on the rim. These two surfaces "crush" together to get you your holding force/friction to hold your "bling" onto your hubs. Of course there is going to be scuffing and scoring on these surfaces! But they won't "wear out." Once they are tightened there is no movement between the two, so there is no such thing as "everyday wear and tear."

... friken noobs

Um, wtf? How did eg6sir get involved in all that?

Oh okay, phew, I had to go look. I thought that guy told me he was from Idaho.....I was about to pack my shit and leave before the down syndrome plague hit Boise.
 
well im glad my simple question got turned into some sort of crap talk contest....thanks for the "tips" though. the only reason i brought it up was because the guy at schwabs said so...its not like paying a buck a lug nut is that much if i had decided to buy them.
