paulgtt Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 them d1 things are a complete waste of time, the metal is too soft. socket just rounds the edges off.get some proper steel ones mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 The cheaper ones tend to strip threads.If your swaping or removing wheels quite often the steel are the ones to go for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 as above the alloy used isnt hard enough and work loose on a regular basis go for steel weights a bit more but the peace of mind is worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Stay away from the d1 nuts!Mines twisted and snapped and it took me ages to get the wheels off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 i use rare rims ones believe there made by a company called Titan. ive ran these for a year and a half with a lot of removal and there still going strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
klyfax Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 High Quality alloy (flight alloy) nuts hold just fine. But the cost is crazy. Go for a steel nut set. Cheap, and works just fine. Runing rare rims tuner nuts. They are very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
