I rotated the tires and did a nice job cleaning the wheels while they were off the car. Not too bad when you have 2 floor jacks. Thats the good part. I bought 40 chrome lug bolts from rmeuropean, one set for each of my cars. Out of the 20 that I used 3 were no good. I would coat the threads with the anti seize stuff and go to spin it on and get only 2 or 3 turns before it started binding. I guess it was good that I had more than I needed for 1 car. I mean I got that car done at least. I'll rotate the other tires soon and see how many more are bad.
At $1.35 the price was right. They don't seem to be automotive bolts, or at least they are not "finish" wheel type bolts as they have a flat head with the ID numbers on the head. The stock saab bolts were rounded, a slight dome, on the top.
