Raffi Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I am looking for some red or titanium looking wheel nuts.And I have been reading a bit about all the different types, that are available.And what I have found out is, that almost all internal drive light weight wheels nuts crack. D1 spec, Ultralite and others.So, they are no good.So, I have found these, they fit in small diameter bolt pockets, they are red, they come with 4 locking nuts.And they are not to expensive.What do you all think?Click here for more info...I am a little bit to greedy to pay for some Rays ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

string Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 there ok. the locking ones are rubbish though. my locking one looked exactly the same as the one in the pic. the tool to remove it cracked and warped after one removal. so then had to have them removed with one of those sockets you hammer on and it has teeth inside that latch onto the bolt. i'd stay clear although dependin on price it may be worth it forthe non locking as they seemed spot on.

daz gt turbz Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ive got the d1 spec nuts and never had any problems with them, theyve been on and off more time than ive had hot dinners. but i always put some copper slip on them when i put them on to stop them from seazing on, imo aslong as you do this then they are fine.

Raffi Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Cool. Thanks for the info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 and you get 20 nuts so youve always got 4 spare just incase, mine are still in the box. and on another note i always put a little bit of rag in the socket before i undo or tighten the nuts to stop it from damaging the nuts and mine have not got any marks or scratches on them! just a little bit of car keeps them looking fresh!

Chris Green Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have a set of circuit sports lug nuts, they are a good job (y)http://www.circuit-sports.com/Pro_show.asp?proid=81 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fattony Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 i think one of the bigh problems is the use of air guns in garages on the nuts, make sure if you have anyone work on the wheels / brakes etc where the wheels will be on and off, they do your nuts by hand!like the others have said, rag your nuts, or you will be pissed off when they get scratched, copper slip the threads, stop the seize!! and keep them clean!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
