Here is a look at the one of TWO cracked rims on my F-350. A few weeks ago, I took it into the local tire place to have a flat fixed. I remember them saying that they had a hard time getting a couple lugs to "tighten down". Now I know WHY.

Unfortunately, the tire place is closed today, so I will have to wait until Monday to take them in for them to scoff at.
It all boils down to me having a truck sitting in the driveway, not being able to haul anything because of two bad rims, while I try to find an affordable set.
