Outer seal on wrong side of nut.

Yup, who says car part photographers need to know about cars?

You win the right to laugh at Amazon.com.

Maybe that's how it was put into the packaging.

Just so you don't try to install it like that...

I think they actually ship that way so the nut doesn't get separated from the stem. Enkei sent the ones that came with my wheels the same way...

Spot the goof on this website for the GMC Acadia:

Or don't spot the goof on the Acadia site, since I can't insert an image. I thought I liked this new site...

The Acadia site shows a full frame. How'd you get that picture to show up?

I noticed the front tire has a crude black square blocking out the manufacturer, but the rear does not.

Kramer, there's several ways to insert images. Click the blue ? help icon (the one between the smilies and the camera icon)

That valve stem pic is correct for how they ship, it comes with two different-sized seals for the two different standard sizes of valve stem holes. You actually only use one of them.

Tim, I got the window for the url, but when I cut-and-pasted the address and clicked OK, nothing happened. Also, I'd like to insert a photo that is saved in "my photos". Possible?

I dunno... sounds like maybe a JS error? You on IE6 or what browser?

Click the blue ? help icon, though. the other ways aren't much harder.

And no, there's no photo uploading from your hard drive.

Firefox. I'll try IE (and Firefox again) to see why the url didn't take.

I'm not a computer whiz by any means (I take it "JS" means JavaScript, but that means nothing to me), but I'll try to figure this out. Thanks for the advice.
