Best - dropped off my wheels today at the wheel shop to be stripped and repainted. I'll get them back next Saturday.

Worst - while swapping rims last night, one of the lugs stripped and is spinning in the hub. The shop that did my brake swap used an air gun to tighten my lug nuts, and in the process rounded at least half of them off and way over-torqued them. One lug nut was cross-threaded and screwed-up the stud.

I didn't realize it until I tried to tighten the lug nut and it just began to spin. Of course, it's a locking lug, but it's just barely on. I'm going to try and get in at the dealer this afternoon to get it removed and replaced.

At this point, I realize I should go back to the shop that screwed-up everything, but I don't want them touching my car. Lesson learned.

Have a good weekend everybody.
