Thanks, Jack.. Yes, despite not driving the car, I still park my Sidekick next to my S... Some salt has splattered on the lower part of the driver side. 
No problem.. It's not in the underbody or engine compartment!!! This is why Neb stays in the garage.
No, I didn't lose the locking nuts, Jack... Tire Rack didn't send me new lug nuts, which you need to install these wheels, Jack. Freakin' Gorilla (they're the company that makes the nuts)!!!! I had to go back to the parts store twice to get the right size for the nuts (the first time was my fault). I bought a set of 20, including 4 locks. The thread is 1.5, and all 16 of the non-locking nuts are fine. BUT, the 4 locks are 1.25 and don't screw on!!!!
Tomorrow I go back to either get four replacements and complete the install. I left each wheel on with the four non-locking nuts.

I don't think it's even noticable from the pictures.
Sorry to hear about the lug nut problem.
Wouldn't your stock lug nuts work? Or do you have other uses for them?
And those wheels do look very nice on your car. I really like the color combination.

Believe it or not, Jack, the stock lug nuts don't work with the new wheels. Apparently, more of the bolt end protrudes through the hole with the Prodrives than on the stock wheels, and if you tighten down the stock nuts all the way, not all of the bolt end can fit. So I had to buy a new set.
