Then they gave me a bunch of **** for buying stuff off the internet..it's a crap rim...if you bought it from us would could just replace it for you...blah blah blah...I tried to explain to them that they can't get them through their normal channels and wheel builders much better than the ones they have say these rims are good.

Looking at the rims and the buldges closer it looks like it ISN'T the nipple but rather higer up (just slightly)...and thinking back I think it is all my fauly...also my count is off there are 3 of them.

Me thinks it is time to buy a new rim for the front.
