oh matt, young one, did you ever thing of the wheel tightening pattern? top bottom left right, and keep going in a star formation as to seat it properly, kinda like when you do a cylinder head to, you use the cross patternso it will sit completley flush with the backing. dont mention it

not necissarily, also, on the outter part of the center piece, looks like almost 1/64 in of paint, sand that off too, every little bit counts. but if you do it in a star pattern, its will be like pressing it into the outter rim

as undisputed said... if the wheels are powder coated, they are gonna be thicker than they were.. so youll have to sand down the outer section of the tri-spoke.... thats why it wont fit.... the center is now thicker than it was before powdercoat..... id aslo 100% recommend sanding down part that actually bolts to the wheel.... otherwise you might run into the problem of it not sitting flush... mainly due to the paint being thicker in some areas

lol... you give up way too easy matt! everytime something doesnt go as planned, its up for sale! lol... you owna fc! get used to the fact that 99% of things wont go your way, and will be a son-of-a-bitch to get right! BUT, when they finally do, and you sit back and look at your car after all the hard work, you'll be very happy!
and as for the bolt.....not too big of a deal.... a hardware store should have it, and if not, then replace all of them with ones they do have.. (bolts are cheap).... but ill garuntee you didnt do what we said you needed to do so that wouldnt happen! patience is a virtue my friend! do it right the first time, and it will reward you! you know what happens when you do it the wrong way

lol i know i know, just a bit of frustration.
And im sure they will fit without sanding:
A. they were originally powder coated
B. They were sand blasted really well before the new powder coat.
C. i forget c
besides if i sand it down it'll show.
