Be aware that the lug nut holes on these wheels are very small. The installer said that they needed a thin-walled socket to install them. Your OEM lug wrench won't fit into these holes in the event that you want to/need to change your tires yourself. It seems that aftermarket lug wrenches that are made to accommodate a socket have a 1/2 inch drive. I've yet to find a 1/2 inch drive 19mm socket that will fit in these lug holes. CTA has a 19mm thin-walled socket that is 26.85mm - but a 25.5mm socket barely fits, so I doubt that it will fit. Waiting for CARiD to get back to me with a confirmation of the lug hole size (my caliper won't fit and I'd prefer not to buy any more tools for this specific purpose). 3/8 inch drive, 6 points (not 12 point) sockets will fit (25.5mm diameter). That said, the reviews for most long-handled 3/8 inch drive ratchet wrenches have mixed reviews - most seem to break quickly. I'm opting for a breaker bar that should minimize the possibility of breakage. Note: CARiD's phone "hold music" is original and more entertaining than any "hold music" that I've heard. When not on hold (and the wait time was very reasonable) I spoke with 3 wheel and tire reps and am not sure there's a solution coming from CARiD - they'll get back to me. They are refunding the wheel locks that didn't come close to fitting, so that's appreciated. It would have been great if they provided the info and a solution upfront - I would have happily paid for the solution upfront rather than have to search for an answer. Great wheels though - even my wife likes how they look.
