This thread is full of homosexual activity. No **** the paint is going to chip off of the lug seats. If using a standard 1 piece lug, thats for the best. I use Mcgard 2 piece lugs so I don't have any loose chips stuck under the lug to worry about letting my lugs loose.

I put them on Friday and had them off Monday to swap out my front rotors, discovered that the nickel "coating" where the lugs go started flaking off!! Are they really that cheaply made?? Man I miss my Panasports, they were definitely a superior wheel in build quality. Anyone else had any similar issues?
Assesing build quality based on paint in the lug east area is a bit of a stretch. I was a Panasport dealer for a few years. I can tell you that no finite element analysis was ever done on that classicly beautiful but very under engineered wheel. Ever wonder why they're so damn heavy?

ahh ok. I'm very familiar with spinning from when I used to work at an architectural lighting company and all of our aluminum reflectors were made this way. It's somewhere between art and science but yields a very clean chuck-side shape.

Many of the gen I's (discontinued in September '08) had paint in the lug seat that would sometimes chip on the nickels. The Gen II's very specifically have no paint in lug seat area for that reason. There is a long list of changes between the gen I and gen II. Tiny details, some major differences. Many of which I never mention until someone asks or brings up a concern about the discontinued version. I'm guessing you have some of the discontinued Gen I's. Did you buy them new or used?

I had some of the rarest Panasports ever sold in the US, so I guess my expectations were a bit on the high side with the 6UL's. My apologies if I got anyone's panties in a bunch.

Dibs on the defect set for "ugly car."
Too bad about prop-8.
