i enjoyed reading that LOL... i dont have one of these cars (just came along for a read) but i bought some blue flanged wheelnuts for my mardave not too long ago, they sent unflanged, and they were poop, ended up not being able to get them off again (down to the threads.... i think) ANYWAY, used some old silver ones we had laying around problem solved, just sucked that the new blue ones didnt go too well....
yer you prob didnt really wanna know that lil story, but passed some time for me lol
