Default Do NOT buy lug nuts from Rockauto! Listing is WRONG!

I was just looking at the rockauto catalog and I discovered their listing for lug nuts for all XJ40/XJ81 cars is completely wrong.
They list lug nuts with cone type seats which will NOT work with the factory wheels.
The factory wheels on all XJ40 & XJ81 cars require a shank type of lug nut.
If someone attempts to use cone seat lug nuts with a factory wheel it will damage the wheel.

WRONG lug nuts!


Correct lug nuts

What did RockAuto say when you informed them of the mistake on their site?

They do not respond to any feedback about the site.
I have tried but I have never received any replies.
