Its seat angle didn't match with the factory rays and smashed into the rotor and kinda squished everywhere. I was at my comfort limit beating on the back of the wheel too.

The factory Rays on the Sport and the factory Nismo wheels require the "washer" style lugs. If the tapered seat lugs are used there's always going to be issues. This was the same reason there was a TSB from Nissan on the locking lugs that dealers were putting on (tapered vs. washer style).
