wdkwang · 05-25-2015, 07:09 PM

I'm on the oem rays. One lug nut was stripped by a wheel shop guy. Another one today when I used a harbor freight impact gun that I just bought. I used a 21mm deep impact socket from pittsburgh. the socket kept eating into the lugs and i had to keep hammering out the lugs from the socket. after stripping one lug from using the impact gun, i ended up going back to the ol faithful tire wrench in the trunk. my only guess is that the pittsburgh sockets aren't compatible. any advice on which brand i should be using?
also i bought a new set of 20 oem style lug nuts from ebay. will these be good enough? thanks
