Sure can buddy. I'll explain it again for ya.Then explain this please... how can a wheel not be centered when using the correct tapered base lug nuts that force the wheel's lug nut openings to center about the lugs?
And please explain why the majority of us who are running aftermarket wheels, the vast majority of which are lug centric, are not having problems with DW?

Put the rim and tire (let's just call it 'wheel' onto the lug studs. Then let's hit that first lug nut with the impact wrench to mount the wheel good and tight. Gotta make sure it doesn't move, right.
So now that wheel is centered on that lug. Right? Not centered on the hub, but centered on that lug.
So next we drive down the second nut. With that fancy angle on it it should force the wheel to be centered on that lug. Not the hub, the lug. But to try and force that wheel to re-center on the 2nd lug it has to overcome the forces holding it centered on the 1st lug. The one you just ran down tight with an impact wrench. This means the 2nd fancy tapered nut has to drive down on one side of the fancy tapered hole to force it to re-center on the 2nd lug. This can cause the lug to bend a bit. Or maybe just elongate that tapered hole a tiny bit.
Now it's time to drive that 3rd fancy nut down good and tight. Want to make sure the wheel is centered on the 3rd lug, right? Not centered on the hub. No longer centered on the 1st lug. Not centered on the 2nd lug. Nope, centered on the 3rd lug. Well now, that fancy tapered nut has to overcome the forces holding the wheel centered on the 2nd lug, and overcome the forces holding the wheel centered on the 1st lug. So now that 3rd fancy nut really has to exert a whole lot of force against that fancy tapered hole in the rim. The aluminum rim.
Now we get to try and pull that wheel 2 more times, trying to get the wheel centered on the 2 remaining lugs.
Not once did you tighten down the wheel centered on the hub.
Now let's imagine that Christ our lord and saviour wasn't the guy running the lathe or CNC machine the day your rim was produced. The guy centered the rim by the hub of the rim, not by the fancy tapered #1 hole where the first fancy tapered nut will be driven to center the wheel on your axle.
So now we have plenty of chances to center your wheel on your axle. Just none of them to the hub of your axle.
And we have plenty of chances to slightly, just slightly, deform that rim with the fancy holes. Or deform, just slightly deform, the lugs
And there you are. Tire balanced for the 8th time. Since it take a very small imbalance in the wheel, to the point of you re-re-re-balancing the tires to get rid of the problem. It has to be the guy running the balancing machine. And the guy at the 2nd shop. And the guy at the 3rd shop.
