Jamie5414 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 They seem to have copied the D1 spec style, Which are the "Genuine" ones if that's what you mean, ep-racing do them here People have had problems with the D1 spec ones, but weather they where genuine or not I don't know. The ones above are genuine (hence the price), had them a few months now problems up to yet! I'd say it's almost mandatory to get them all torqued up the same. ep-racing reccomend 100nm and the actual D1 spec manufacturer reccomend 120nm maximum, had no problems with 100nm. I check them each time I wash my car, and no movement in them at all. Most of the D1 ones have a 60 degree taper, Not sure if Rota wheels vary in the taper angle between alloys, I'm sure someone can tell you what taper they have if you have a specific rota alloy. Quote
Glanza1996 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Yeah I've read a lot about D1 nuts how on ebay lots of them are not genuine and they snap off etc.How can i tell if those Bblox ones are genuine Edited February 15, 2014 by Glanza1996 Quote
Jamie5414 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I guess it's just weather people have had problems and you have heard about it mate, They may be fine, but judging by the price of the D1 ones and these ones, There's a big difference, Everyone would be buying these if they where better Quote
neilgt Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Ive got D1 nuts with my rotas, and even they can twist and bend out of shape if you don't keep the socket perfectly in line Quote
Gainzy Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I wouldn't trust D1 on the motorway lol Quote
Starlet__SR Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Just use steel nuts, better for safety. Day Quote
TurboTobz Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) The light weight bit makes me laugh, go on a diet or have a shit eat laxatives remove your radio replace your seat with a cushion lol…. More to the point after reading peoples opinions and stories on the D1's while looking at buying a set myself I would only go for the steel ones, fake or not it's put me of for life.

Glanza1996 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 lol yeah the more im reading about lightweight ones the more im being put of okey think im just going to find some steel nuts Quote
Gainzy Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Honda's get away with them as they don't have the power to make them spin off and kill people lol Quote
Jamie5414 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Honda's get away with them as they don't have the power to make them spin off and kill people lol Hahahaha In all honesty I don't think anyone really buys them for the lightweight factor, they look good Quote
aidanep71 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 These are what I got havnt had a problem in over 2 years and look much better than those stupid D1 nutshttp://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/wheel-nuts-bolts/richbrook-forged-aluminium-nuts Quote
littlegreenmonster Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I have to admit im running the blox ones and I've stripped one thread because I was being a penis, but I don't have any troubles with them tbh Quote
dan106 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Stripped the threads on a couple of my D1s, and all of them were really tight, as in once they were un-done you still had to use the bar to wind them off. I now run TPI nuts and ive gotta say they were well worth the extra money! Quote
JordanEP91 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I bought a set of genuine d1 spec wheels nuts, they recommend not using them for intense driving but I use them on my daily and I'm sideways everywhere, I am going to change them though just in case Quote
Turk Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Is saving 50 grams worth risking your life? Ill leave that up to u. Ive got some d1 spec nuts given when i bought some wheels. They are paper weight not in best of nick. Also ive got 15 i stead of 16. So if you want them ill give them away for cheap Quote
