Default Re: Loose Lug Nut

The lug holes in the wheel are wallered out a bit. I wouldn't drive on it too far in that condition, but it will make a useable spare. I bought a new wheel, though, which I'm going to paint and put back on the truck. I just hate ruining parts I know are original to the vehicle. Just stupid on my part.
I've been looking up threads on sandblasting and painting wheels. Trying to decide "if" and "how". Don't really want 5 shiny newly painted wheels making the rest of my truck look shabby. It ain't going to get a paint job in my lifetime. On the other hand, it would be odd to have just one freshly painted wheel.
As you all have said, could be worse.
