I am waiting on a reply from the manufacturer on the washers. they state nothing about removal on their site. I look at multiple wheel sites and none have any kind of warning about them. If it was an issue i am sure at least one wheel manufacturer would have something about their removal.
Serach for the text "retainer" in this link, it's step 3 under wheel fit check.
3. Remove spring clip retainers, if applicable.

I found this. look at page 3 under wheel check fit

Information i did not know about as i come from the OE dealer world and we rarely see aftermarket wheels so i had no idea this existed. I wish this had been included in the shipping info when i got this setup.

Every day is a learning experience. My only wish is that i had been presented with this information when i got the package. It could have saved a lot of headache and heartache. Moving forward from here.

If I was a wheel manufacturer, or their lawyer, I'd add a counter-bore to the stud holes on the inside of the wheel (just like OEM wheels). The cost is likely pennies per wheel over a large production run. Instructions get lost, a manufacturing solution doesn't.
