Fixed, I tried myself and no, my hands are way to thick, I actually gave up, my gf at the time could fit her hands into, but she couldn't either remove due weak hands ....
Since you did this, now you need, you MUST do this:
Then you are done
Then you are done

+1To remove those nuts you need a box wrench. 22mm, short. Available at sears. Forget doing this by hand. You will probably not get them tight enough once you replace.
Oscar thanks for the photoshop man, but I am way ahead of you. I actually got this scoop with the desire to go to black Advan RSII. It's going to look even better as it will be way more open than OEM, and my calipers will be silverstone painted. I am also chrome plating all the rotor hat bolts, and picking up the brights with lugnuts spaced evenly with the 10 bolts with some open end bright lugnuts.
Right now the black looks like a blob... The semi gloss RS has more sheen. Once the chrome plated bolts and painted calipers are in there, it will look completely different. Those that don't like black wheels... I don't blame them. I am often in the same camp. But the cool thing to me now is to just have the wheel not attract all the attention on the car, get out of the way, and show the goods underneath (if you have the goods). All your eyes will be drawn towards eventually will be the top hat bolts, which... Not many people have, and the massive calipers... Which not many people have. Silver spoked wheels are on every OEM car. This will tastefully take it away from that.

I guess if the ducts actually weighed less they could have used something nylon or equivalent that is less "structural"! Those look pretty beefy. Imagine all the new parts they had to create just because it was aluminum. As a new owner I never really thought too much about this before. Sort of puts a whole new cast (pardon the pun) on things.
Here is what the nuts look like for those wondering. No other photos anywhere:
Do you know the part number for these? One of mine is gone and need to replace. Thanks
Nevermind Turbo2Go, I found them, part number 90329-SL0-000 for the nuts.
