aluminium forged wheel nuts are they actually any good ?


Recommended Posts

I seen this a lot and dont know if this statement is true but i heard that pros dont actually use these as there not very safe

is there any truth in this ?

as to be honest i dunno if i would be happy putting a very soft metal holding on my wheels keeping me on the road surely these can heat up and soften over time which would loosen them?

or am i just over thinking the whole thing

Im asking as i like the jdm look of em but wanna be safe obvously

They use aircraft aluminium for race nuts. Normal aluminium are known to soften and get lose.

Be safe, use steel nuts. They come in all colours and shapes.

Take a look at Rare rims, find the nut you like, and send them an email. They have blue, red, green, and properly more colours. I got green tuner nuts on mine. Cost 20£ + shipment.
