: the contact stated after having a left rear flat tire, the lugs nuts could not be removed from the wheel assembly. After initial inspection, it was determined the stainless steel jacket of all of the lug nuts on the vehicle were distorted. The vehicle is currently awaiting tow service to a dealer for further inspection. Updated 05/03/06.

Lug nut cover strips away from lug nut. Lug wrench turns cover only. I had to pry this aluminum cover off to remove lug. Poor fit of lug nut wrench.
