Has anyone else had any problems getting sockets to fit inside their Racestar wheels? I know on the Greg Weld Skinnies I have on front that I ended up using a thin walled spark plug socket to be able to tighten down the lugs. It seems that part of the design has carried over to the Racestar wheels that I just bought for the rear. One 1 of the 10 lugs on both sides I was able to fit my regular impact socket that I used on other wheels just fine but the rest of the lugs I cannot get the socket to fit and it gets jammed. It's not that big of a deal, but I wanted to see if i was the only one or not.

When I fit the wheels I put each lug at the 6 o'clock position to make it easier to get the oblong washer to seat properly and I am using the Deluxe lug kit with the hub centric rings.

Hmm maybe my lug set was "deluxe" then? It came with two hub centric rings so I assumed it was.

No, I already had Greg Weld front runners so I only ordered 15x10's for the rear and the corresponding lug nuts.
