Just wanna say thanks for posting something OC and interesting here. All of the other things I've seen have been shitty "memes" that should've stayed on Facebook.
I used the wrong lugs on the OEM winter wheels on my RSX. At first I didn't know any better (conical vs ball seat), but once the damage had been done I kept using them. The OEM wheels were already fairly rough when I bought the car. Oops, but at least I know better now, and at least I was doin' better than this guy.
Of course, i'm always happy to share.
Hahaha, I'm pretty sure mixing up ball vs cone seats is a rite of passage for all auto mechanics. I've done it too. Especially after they've been on and off a few time, bastards look identical unless you really really look close. But getting the seat completely on the wrong side.... sigh.
