I ordered new OZ Racing Superturismo GT rims from the Tire Rack and had them put on my Civic last week. They're the stock 14", which I know is child's play considered to what most members are putting on theirs, but I didn't want to add any more weight to put more stress on the stock suspension, decrease mileage, etc., etc.

Another problem surfaced through this process: I had one lug cross-threaded (or otherwise stuck) on the left front and the guys who I had put on the wheels (recommended by Tire Rack) found one more bad stud on the left rear. I had another bad stud about 2 years ago that needed replacing. Does anyone know if this is a common problem with 7th gen models? Or (since I rotate my own tires) am I an idiot and just keep cross-threading the lugs onto the studs?

Also, if you replace a stud on one of the front axles do you have to replace the bearing as well? I heard this from a couple of people and since I had the left front one replaced I'm hearing that loud roar from that area that resembles the sound when my right front bearing went bad.

Lastly, couple of pics:

good lookin rims for 14s, but the answer is no, ive never had a problem with crossthreading lugs, however, if u get a lot of rust on them, they can act that way, the best thing i can recommend is to put some anti-seize on ur studs b4 u put them back on the next time u rotate ur tires. and far as i know, studs shouldnt have anything to do with the bearing, but u should be able to feel the bearing in the floor and pedals, if it is bad, i strongly recommend getting it replaced b4 it goes bad
