of course.

the holes are pretty narrow, just barely enough room for the socket.

not too bad by hand, but one shot with a air gun and its over.

I have the Rays Track wheels and the socket holes are mangled. Is there any way to fix it? Can you use something to touch it up?

What is the size of this lug wrench adapter? I believe the lugs I received with my rims are 3/4".
