Aluminum Lug Nuts
Are aluminum lug nuts safe? I'm getting some new rims and I want to get some light weight lugs. What type of lugs does our car take. Any info would be nice.

I've always used grease on the wheel studs.

What about these?

If you grease the studs you need to reduce the amount of torque, but the amount to reduce it by is not generally understood. So the easiest thing is to stay away from the problem altogether and not grease the studs. ________ Space case grinder |
I always put a light coat of anti-sieze on mine (regardless of type or material) and the general rule of thumb is to drop torque by 10%, most studs break because the thread interface surface between the nut and stud galled, anti-sieze greatly reduces galling
I highly recommend the Buddy Club aluminum nuts if you feel like you really need them, I have a set but at the time they were produced by some other JDM company name. There's a lot of junk aluminum lug nuts out there so buyer beware ... http://store1.yimg.com/I/twincamtech_1853_19475818 |
I need links people! :)

Get titanium.
|
lol....yea too pricey
|
|
I'd never buy aluminium wheel lugs. Steel or titanium. The fact that you can't use an impact gun on them, alone, makes it a pain in the ass.

tried that
