Ended up being that they were under torqued. It was pretty much my first time ever doing brakes / new rims / whatever and I only used a torque gun, which didn't do the job.

The root cause was that I used lug bolts that were not designed for the application.

I was very fortunate that my coworker pointed it out so that we could fix it, before I ended up losing a tire at 85 MPH on my commute to work.

been so busy with work I haven't even put in my new retrofits yet

right now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to keep the vehicle or sell it...

next week I should be pulling the Grand Prix out of storage, and don't see any point in keeping a $6000 truck around that I won't use again until October

at the same time, I almost pulled the trigger on another set of these rims, but with the -12MM offset this time

so indecisive
