Can you PM me your full name and/or order number?   I can send you replacement nuts, but I have to ask, did you use a torque wrench to install the lugnuts?  If you over torqued the nuts, or if the wrench head was rounded or not seated properly on the nut, that could easily damage the finish.

I will still send you replacement nuts, but just keep in mind that if you over torque them it could cause the same damage.

Thanks,

Nick

Cool, just wanted to make sure.  You probably just got 3 bad ones.  I got your PM and will be sending the replacement nuts.

Thanks,

Nick
