Main problem is when monkeys with impact wrenches get ahold of your car and go to town doing the nuts up, so they believe they wont come undone in a hurry. Unfortunately, what happens is they end up stuffing the threads on them and they are rendered useless.

I have used a set of Rays Alu nuts on my old TE37s. Nice and light, less unsprung weight :) Gotta be careful to not damage them.

I heard somewhere that some racetracks require you to use steel nuts/bolts due to their extra strength??? Probably all BS though, not sure.

I got some genuine Rays aluminium wheel nuts for my new wheels, but i'm wondering how they compare to steel nuts?
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts about these?

Cheers
