Just picked up a set of 4 RW wheels for my '13 LX and had some 285/75/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted. Very satisfied with the look and feel off road compared to the 20" OEM.
I'm driving along and I start hearing a slight clanging and sure enough the front driver's side ring is loose in one section - maybe a couple MM deflection. Get my Torx drive and start trying to screw them in and they aren't engaging any of the threads. Turns out 5 or 6 on this wheel are in this state. The screws look alright but they all had a lot of aluminum corrosion. I checked the other three rings and they all appear securely attached. Is a helicoil my only option at this point? If so does anyone know the thread pitch of these screws - M9 seemed close but I wasn't sure. Any other ideas on what to do at this point would be very welcome! Thanks in advance!
