lug nuts - nmwisima - 18-07-2012
I have tried all kinds of nut in my car.
Aluminum got bend. On a mates car they destroyed the hub.
I dont say light is bad, I just say you need to pay Brand and more than 100 euros to get a desent set.
I ve also tried ebay noname nuts and they are crap.

So I ended up using the nuts Rota uses.
They are not light, as they are steel, but the are safe and look good.
REMEMBER: ALL aftermarket nuts, are supposed to be fitted with a special Teflon key. That is why you get the scratches if you dont use it.

There are three types of Steel Nuts.
Plain Colored Steel Nuts. They are the lighter available and cheaper. They will need care when fitting, bolt and tighten by hand or they get scratched.

Tuner Colored Lug Nuts. These are a bit heavier, but they come with a special key, that goes in the center hole and thus, prevents the outer from getting scratched.
I ordered them forr my car, as I consider them to be the best compromise.

The newest addition is the Long Colored Lug Nuts. More impressive of course, they also come with a key. I havent fitted a set yet to tell you more.

Now, these are my impressions on the nuts I ve tried.
If you guys decide you want a Group Buy, I can organize one for you.
The problem is that they are heavy to post. One set would cost 17 euros to post only.
If you guys want 10 sets (or more) posted to ONE address, cost would be 40 euros,
which would bring postage costs per set to 4 euros...
