hi ce28=)hmmm. i had wanted to refinish my wheels too. put mine where the types that require 680...no wait. needed 1500ibs to get pressed out. at that point, i belief the bolts were just safety measures.i handtight them...around 10-15lbs. like what most are saying. and its no prob. but i know the main thing is that you should not have tires on(which u didn't)when removing these bolts. and why not tighten in a cross sectional pattern for good measure.
i have one question for you tho. the wheels in da pics. i had the same one from linea sports off my honda. saw someone with the same from bbs, then yours... these are from impul? rs impul? how many other make these, and are they pretty much the same? (sorry, i sold those with my honda).
