    REPAIR PROCEDURE:

    Nice find, Tom. Something tells me I have a slight vibration, but it could be in my head. I change my tires when I put the 20" CCs on and off for summer. Will have to remember to look. I should be able to remove those myself.

    I think the easiest thing to do is just pull the wheel off and see if it has the Tinnerman push nuts and to see if the aftermarket rims ( I really doubt they do) have the relief cut to accommodate the Tinnerman push nuts.
