Anyone out there have issues with the shanks on a greg weld wheel? I have the dragstars in 15x10 6.5 bs...i am having a HARD time getting the shanks on and off....the socket stays stuck in the wheel...i guess i need a thin wall socket....does anyone know if Greg Weld sells a smaller diameter head on the shank...the ones i have are 13/16's and if they make a 3/4 that would work fine...they look sharp but the head of the shank goes "into the wheel" not like the Weld racing prostars where the head sits on the outer edge of the wheel...i am seriously considering selling the wheels for some prostars just because of the shanks!!! I just got the wheels on Friday!!!!

anyone have this problem?

Yeah, me. I run prostars, but got tired of running my slicks on the street. A pair of jegs knock off stars came up for sale for cheap on another forum so I bought them so I could mount some worn out bfg dr's on them for street use. I had the same issue. Instead of trying to find different nuts, I went to harbor freight and bought a cheap set of deep chrome 1/2" sockets. The 13/16 works great w/ room to spare.
