[circmand]

Do you have any pics of your Proton with the the machined/black GA5's?

Eric,

Looks like yer reddy for a return trip to Shenandoah. Mebbe you can clear the berm now.

LOL tom I still maintain that I couldve made it with a good running start...

Anyone else mounted the wheels them selves?
They are a huge pain in the butt!! The slots for the lugs are so deep the socket get stuck if the wheel budges at all so if you're ever changing a tire just jiggle the wheel around until it spins free.. Also found that starting the lugs by hand instead of with a socket or wrench makes it much easier

The rims I had on the ol' Samurai had that problem too. I just bought a dedicated socket of the right size & had a buddy turn down the OD to fit the recess (still have the socket me thinks).
