Default How long till this gives out

I just bought a set of wheels and tires for dirt cheap but one of the wheels has the bolt holes fairly rounded out. How long till I need a new one.

If the lugnut seats and the wheel doesn't wobble you should be fine. Do you tow or haul anything?

I might be hauling a lawn care trailer this summer but I’ll go ahead and replace it before I haul something. I’m was just wondering if I could last a couple months of regular driving on it. It’s just the two bolt holes and one wheel that are wore.

What kind of lugs are you using with them? They don't look to be tapered.

I’m using tapered lug nuts, I bought the wheels in this condition. Is there a difference between tapered and not tapered.

Yes big time! This is what it look's like it would use.


With the way those holes are now i don't think you can salvage them. The bottom one is egged out bad.

This is what I’m using right now, I’ve never seen those lugs before. What’re they called and where should I buy them at

I thought wheels stopped talking these after the 80s?
