I had a set also and agree they look great but, I replaced mine after the lugs loosened up after driving it for a while. A year later while driving back from the beach the passenger back wheel came off causing 3k in body damage. Those wheels are unilug with oval washers and will loosen up on you if not checked often. The washers will need to be replaced every time you pull the wheel because they warp after being torqued. I don't want this to happen to you so please check your lugs before you go any where.

Any company that sells aluminum wheels will tell you that they should be re-torqued after the first few hundred miles and occasionally checked thereafter until they are run in . You actually might be overtightening if you are crushing the washers. I've had many aluminum wheels and have never had any problems that you describe. Aluminum wheels are just different than steel wheels .
