The wheels are A O K. thank god, in such a frantic in tightening them on in the middle of the street i rubbed some paint off around on of the lug nut holes. Black touch up paint will do the trick though

Careful with those places, most of them tend to over-tighten the lug nuts. just get a good torque wrench and do it yourself.

Me and my friend got done lowering his gf's new edge and hand tightened all four of her wheels until it was on the ground and forgot to tighten them and he realized it once he was about to pull out of my neighborhood .

You're a nut case my friend...


You'll be fine being on the front wheel and all...
On the rear wheel, it could have been another story under torque pressure.

Just use a ratchet and socket and tighten them down. They only need about 90ft/lb which you should be able to do with a 3/4in ratchet. A tire place will run them on with about 200 ft/lb and may break or strip the lugs.

As most of the others have said, everything should be fine. Just learn from it.
