: Today I bought new wheels for my '64 W200 crew cab to replace the old split rims. I don't think the wheels had been removed in decades so they fought me all the way. The last one, front drivers side was impossible. I spent half an hour finally resorting to a 3 foot cheater bar to loosen the lug nuts. I'm not a small boy by any means, but even after a full turn on each nut, they still could take all of my weight. Who's the wise guy that made LEFT-HAND THREADS on my wheel?!!
: Does anyone know if thats common? I nearly broke or stripped the lugs before I realized it. I thought I'd seen it all!
: Pete in Golden, CO.

As a side note, I believe that Crysler used left-handed treads on the left side of all of their CARS until 1969 or 1970.
