Maybe. I've seen those references on thesamba, too. But, they're not a
reference to these specific wheels, and the stock bolts seem to seat to
the same depth as on the stock wheels. In any case, it would be much
more critical for alloy wheels, where the entire seat is present, not
just a formed "lip" as on steel wheels.
