Okay, well I am in the process of installing 17" Caldina Alloys onto my car...
My problem is in this part of the car/wheel:   Basically, the wheel was quite difficult to get to sit properly when installing them, and then when I was removing the wheel It wouldn't come off at all.. As if it was wedged onto the car... I had to put my whole body weight onto the wheel to get it off the car, both sides where the same... The only thing I can think of causing this is the round part shown above which slips onto the car... Anyone got any ideas what I could do to stop this, because it doesn't feel correct at all... Or anyone currently running on Caldina alloys have the same problem?

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Or is it illegal Nah gotta buy a new car now  in all seriousness though, I cleaned the Bore of one wheel today and the hub of both the front wheels, and then I tried the one clean Caldina wheel on and on the driver side it was perfect and the passenger side sat correctly but still was hard to get off... Gonna clean it up further and do the rears another day (y) -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
