C_Strike Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Iv just been looking to buy some wheel nuts, these ones... http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Search.do?method=delegate&n=1288&p=246952&s=wheel+nuts Can someone please enlighten me as to which thread i need, i assume the thread size is something dictated by the car and not the fitted alloys? It has TSW evo alloys just incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I don't know what others think but I wouldn't fit aluminium wheel nuts on my car, obviously the thread is more likely to get stripped on those than steel nuts and the weight saving would be minimal.

Funnily enough, I was looking at threads on wheel nuts last night, and that seemed to be the general thought of a lot of people on here. I'll go for some nice steel nuts for mine. I like tough nuts.

Westy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I just bought myself a set of Project Kics R40 Neo Chrome lug nuts: I think they look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 i had light wheel nuts before, they were alu, i woudnt recoment them, they were so soft, the threads stripped when you took them off once. had to stop the car once as the back one had come undone, get steel ones, wheel nuts are very important! i had TPi wheel nuts, search them on ebay, only £30 quid and they were coloured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I agree, but I'm sure the Project Kics should be good. Alot of the yanks run them without issue. Got that pic from Supraforums. Sales piece: Project KICS R40 Racing Composite lug nuts are patented 2 pieces design that allow the top of the lugs to spin independently from its tapered end. This innovative design provides the best hold of any lug nuts on the market today. It tapered end greatly reduces the changes of scratching your wheels. Made of light weight composite materials. -Super light-weight thin-wall construction using strong light-weight OEM quality materials. -Oversized and taper seat to ensure best contact. -external drive by popular 17mm hex for easier installation. -Full stud engagement and can accomodate long racing studs. -Reliable and stonger than aluminum racing lug nuts. -Japan patented (no.1192260) and USA patent applied -Lug body produced by Cold-Forged SCM-435 material. -Attached rotating taper-seat made with A7075-T6 aluminum and ultra-hard almite finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Decent alloy nut that are heat treated are fine, but hard to get hold of. Jensen used beautiful aerospace quality alloy wheel nuts in the old Interceptors, but they were of course Imperial, not this new fangled metric rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
