At some point a lug nut flew off a front rims causing it to shimmy....lost threads on the actual rim.....I notice the lugs have external threads....that for the lug caps though, correct?....is the rims still functional.....
They are GTA rims

there are no threads on the wheels it's a through hole.the wheels site on the lugs (studs) and the lug nut secures the wheel the the hub.

LMAO....feel kinda stupid now....
What happened was the studs came loose in the rotor/hub.....causing the wheel to shake on the road......in the end....the actual studs created thread on the rims....making me think...>WTF??? these rims had threads??
In the end I had to replace the rotor/hub.......did that at same time I did the new shocks........all is better now...
sorry for the dumb post
