Rep Power: 0 i did use my centric rings. i have metal one's (came with the wheels) but what i'm talking about is my center caps for my wheels aren't snapping in completely cause 1 of the lug nuts is in the way and is NOT letting me put them on. these are the wheels i have that i put today on my car
and they have that center wheel cap to cover up and hide the lug nuts. thats
what i'm talking about thats not fitting in completely snugged and flush with the wheel cause of 1 lug nut is in the way and it's not letting me. i think they may have given me the wrong lug nuts. maybe these lug nuts are too big. when the wheel was off the car and sitting in my appartment. i was able to have the center caps snapped on them, snugged and on completely. but now with the wheels bolted on my car, there is something wrong with the center caps and the fitting for them on the wheels. i looked. it's 1 of the lug nuts not letting me snap the center caps all the way it completely those fools at www.discounttiredirect.com gave me lug nuts that won't let me put the wheel's center caps on once bolted onto my car...

Rep Power: 0 those centric rings are great by the way. i went like 85 to 90 MPH and my car was gliding like it was ONLY going 45 MPH!. just thought that i'd add that. they did a good job balancing my wheels. and the centric rings are snugged nicely too and giving my car a nice roll. but thats not mattering right now. i'm pissed off about the wheel's center caps NOT fitting man!. what the ****!!!?

Rep Power: 0 It's your lug nuts then. Usually lug nuts are interchangeable w/ different types of wheels--looks like this time's the exception. Call Discount Tires up, they should be able to swap your lug nuts.

Rep Power: 0 yeah but they're already bolted on my car though. you telling me that i gotta take my wheels off and put my stock one's back on in order to take care of the issue? i thought of just going to an autoshop or an automotive store and buying new one's that'll let me fit my center caps on. i wonder who would sell lug nuts. (GOOD LUG NUTS)
the lug nuts i have on my car right now are GORILLA lug nuts. i wonder where i can get smaller GORILLA lug nuts for the center cap to fit.

I'm not understanding how your center caps have anything to do with lugs. Center caps don't ever hit lugs, stems, or hubs. They just snap into the wheel. If you're talking about the lugs not going in, they may have given you the wrong lugs.

If polycarbonate are plastic.....which I'm 99.95% sure....then NO!
Buy the metal ones on Discount Tire! Call them, they will take care of you!
