:insane: We are at 10hr and 52 mins and on the rise each day.

I went back out and checked the new lug again and it doesn't look too bad. Probably just being too Type A about this. Checked on eBay for used OEM lugs. All at $42+ and have the usual torque marks on them. Maybe I'll just rock these for $20 and see how we go for the moment. Probably going to seal them up this weekend, since it is raining anyways.

I was talking oem for the extra width. They take a 22mm socket and just make the lug hole look more filled. Not saying your current ones look bad it was just a thought

Here’s a pic of my old tbss wheels with oem chrome lugs just for reference
View attachment 214951

Agreed. Looks full. I cannot keep on your wheel changes....lol That chrome is blingy clean. Even the inner dish is looking good. I'm lucky with the satin inner finish, it does not show the dirt/brake dust as bad.

I loved those wheels but could not keep up with the maintenance on them. Keeping them that shiny was a hassle and took almost as long as cleaning the whole truck lol. The constant weather changes around here and it not being In a garage never helped either

^^This^^ I feel your pain man. Having no garage is why we keep the microfibers in our hands all the time. Detailing fruit loops FTW!! lol

Low mileage, yes, but 78k in South Florida is hard miles. Mostly stop and go, most of the roads in that area are 35mph or less, short trips, heat, heat, heat, humidity, humidity, humidity. Honestly, the condition of Foss's truck is a testament more to his meticulous maintenance than is the low mileage.

Thx man. Really appreciate this.
