I noticed after finally bleeding my brakes that the lug nuts are really wearing on the wheel. When I tighten the lug nuts some of them cause metal shavings to come off the wheel. The holes where the studs come through is just barely smaller then the diameter of the lug nut. Is this normal for 13 year old wheels. It seems if I had wider lug nuts I wouldn't be having issues. Has this ever happened to anybody? I don't know if maybe at some point someone switched lug nuts and wheels

Either way, looks like its time to pick up a new set!
Better now than swearing on the side of a highway!

Driving on 3 wheels is a little hair raising... don't ask me how I know.
