** The first thing I would do is verify that I'm trying to use the correct lug nuts. I had this same problem years ago "Guess What" I had the wrong lug nuts. **
I do wonder about the lug nuts. The studs come up about halfway through the lug nuts when tightened and if the lug nuts weren't so deep, I think they might look okay.
All the rims are the same and since I painted them before I had the tires mounted, the installers couldn't have done anything to mess them up.
I haven't called LMC yet, on t he to do list.
