Default tenzo R DC-6 Version 1 help

well i got my rims in today! lucky it was a sunny day today. well when i took off my old rims and putting on the other, i notice there was a problem when i was mounting it i had no problems until i started putting in the lug nuts. i put on 2 then the 3rd, 4th and 5th was really heard to put on. note this was finger tight. i didnt use a wrench . so i took it off and went inside to look what was the problem. this is what i notice. the hole for 5/114 the lugs fit totally flush. but when i put the lug on the 5/100 hole it wasnt. just left a lil crack. here is some pics.
my sexy rim

the 4/100 hole sorry i did my best to show u guys that it wasnt flushed with the rims. u cant really see the crack. but i hope u guys get the idea

this is the hole with 5/114 and it was totally flushed.


any ideas? i was thinking i need new lugs that are narrow.
also anyone had this problem? plz help i want my rims on my car!!!

where did u get the wheels? every time i ordered wheels, they came with the correct lugs, and hub centering rings... i think u should contact the place u bought them from and let them know.

I think 10 holes is normal, at least for our offset.

my wheel has 10 holes.

The set of holes you tried to put your lugs in is just for decoration. The wheels you got ARE NOT for both 5x114.3 and 5x100. The bolts go in the holes w/ the groove.


EDIT: Like how you have it in your 3rd pic
