Top of a J32 manifold, it just looks like the gasket is sticking out to the right a bit but wanted to know if thats what it was before I bothered to take it off. lol

Totally off topic but do you know some reputable brands of locking lugs?
I'm looking for some right now but there are so many... and I imagine many you don't want.

Go oem for the locks. And, that definitely looks effed up. Don't know what to make of it but if you take off that cover you'd need to replace the gasket anyways obviously. And it doesn't appear to be leaking... If that even is the gasket.

Well I meant maybe I'd get a new set of lugs all together, but I suppose I should maybe wait on that anyways.

Let's just do some quick imaginative math. Let's say. You had some expensive rims, forged BBS's. $3000 set of rims right? And you have regular lugs. You wake up one morning to find some hoodlum stole them. You say ah well **** happens. Buy another set off Craigslist. Turns out to be your set in the first place. You're out 6 grand. Now my wheel locks don't seem so stupid do they? :deal:
