I can't believe that you've had them on all this time! Mine broke the very first time I torqued the lugs. Too bad you didn't find this thread before it happened. I can sympathize, my dealer was completely useless and I ended up having to do it myself. I was steaming for a few days.

I've had the car for 2+ years, 11k, and never taken the wheels off, so no need to look at them. Now that I am finally getting to springs and wheels, this is when I first touched the lugs.
