I mean that when I hand tighten them then its fine but when i reach the point where I need to forcefully tighten them, when im applying force as in pulling the wrench up, as i pull to tighten, I can see the lug nut pull up when i apply force, its odd..

ok now my front passenger side wheel is like squeekin..I dont know what is going on!!
Im pretty sure these lugs are CRAP..but another thing is that my rims are set up weird..like the holes where the lugs go, towards the end its not flat, its oval so I dont get how the lugs are suppose to tighten that..
that or maybe I need better recomended ones? any suggestions?
ive looked on ebay at these gorilla lugs recomended for ADR, what you say?
or

Do a comparison.....count turns with your stock lugs.....then count the turns with the "aftermarket."
