Discount Tire Direct has been great to deal with so far. My new MB Wheels TKO have arrived and they look awesome. Two issues though. First, I had ordered a set of black lug nuts from them and the kit arrived with only 20, not the 24 that we need. I sent them an email and they have apologized and offered to ship me the missing lug nuts. I am leaving for a 2 week vacation and wanted these wheels on the X ASAP so I had the local shop throw on 4 chrome lug nuts for the time being. I'll swap the remaining black ones on later.
Secondly, I go to pick up the X today and they tell me the Chaos center caps I had ordered don't fit. Sure enough, they are too big so the two small retaining bolts don't even come close to lining up with the wheel. I decided to test fit the stock TKO center caps and while the bolts line up, the cap itself does not sit flush with the wheel. They actually stick out away from the wheel surface by about a 1/4 inch. I actually prefer the way the wheels look without the center caps so I will leave it off for the moment. I have sent another email to Discount Tire and will see how they handle the issue with the Chaos caps.
Enough talk, now on to the pics!

One thing to note, the shop was mildly concerned by the lack of hub centering rings so they are going to call their supplier and see if there is one available that will fit this wheel. For the record, the wheel's hub bore diameter is 71.5mm.
