Got the Volk Formula Lugs and two of the black colored caps cross threaded and stripped into the lugs. I'm pissed. But, they looks sweet on my GT30's.

That sucks. I messed up my little allen key that came with the lugs too. Its like completely rounded off now, why would they make a plastic allen key?

You can use a 6mm allen wrench. I think they used plastic to keep people from over-torquing the inserts.

I have had mine on for about 2 months, and so far no issues.

Theyre good.. not sure if theyre $275 dollar MSRP kind of good. I like mine, i am just using a different allen key. No cross threading issues for me so far.
