Alum. lugs can heat up ruin the threads. The titanium can crack and come off.

How about not screwing up the looks of your car with those dumb cheese bucket lugnuts?

that's not bad actually. make sure you have a lock on each wheel.

Okay, you get a pass. With those wheels, the lugs look damn spiffy.... but on most wheels, looks like crap.

Rishie got me these; they are really light - we are working out my issues with them; but he said no one else has really had any complaints. So we will see what can be done to get mine fixed.

Some discoloration and too much rounding for the limited number of times I have taken them off.

I wasn't going to say anything until Rishie got back to me on the final disposition; but he is working on fixing my issues (and apparently it is not a common problem) - so I am still a happy customer!

thats good to know. are those the 5Zigen ones? are there end caps for all of them or just one? i'm assuming that is a locking nut or something.

I think I can see the rounding on one of them.

That's not good.

Kane, they just don't match your nice custom paint. Ditch them, and put on some polished alum lugs. Paint your hubs back to black. Just my opinion, but I think that would look soooo clean.

The hubs are not painted; those are 2 piece alum rotors.

But yeah; if I can't get the lugs squared away - I am going to have to come up with a new plan.

Oh. Now I see the bolts.

Still, lugs to match the wheel center cap FTW.
