Alloy Lug Nut Dangers

can this be stickied, hate having to keep searching for it

great thread (Y)

can anybody recommend where i can get some red lug nuts for my dc2r stock rims?

short answer? you won't find any

=/ i guess just spray em and clear the shit out of them? lol

If you absolutely must run aftermarket flashy nuts on your standard wheels, you can take the wheels to a machineing shop and they can machine the lug holes to accept tapered nuts.

For the people that still want safe oem lug nuts that are RED on theyre cars i finaly found them can be purchased here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sprint-Wheels-Li...item2c509fa7aa

Has anyone had any experience with these yet? Does the colour stay nice and bright like that for a long time?

Because im using the rays red extended nuts and after a few months they faded to a pink colour....

Bump this great info up

Found some great info on Honda-Tech + clubrsx relating to using aftermarket wheel nuts such as rays on oem wheels.

Now you can use these washers and be on the safe side =]

bump for the noobs

This really, really needs to be stickied. I bought a set of Rays nuts for (oh the irony) my ITR AKA Dean's old car. Unbolted the existing nuts, went to open the package and noticed the difference. Did some quick research and sent a message off to the supplier. Then did some more searching and found this thread.

Edit: Found this link - wonder if it's worth testing?

Washers that change the taper from slant to ball.

^used them before, they don't really work well as i've found they deform under pressure
i was unable to torque them up to 80ft-lbs before deforming

there was a type of lug lock nut that i found should work, project kics i think as their seat moves independently to the nut so it should push on to the washer instead of forcing it's way though it
don't take my word for it though, i never could justify splashing out on kics

I hope this help ;)

Ive used Mcguard conical seat nuts with rays wheels, rays conical nuts with Work wheels, usually aftermarket nuts will work with aftermarket wheels

from what ive experienced you cant use aftermarket nuts with OEM wheels unless the aftermarket nuts also come in a flat/ Round seat type

When i was returning my evo back to stock the OEM wheels needed a flat type lug nut, i remember wanting to purchase a set of ralliart/Mcguard lug nuts and being asked by parts guy if i wanted cone seat or flat seat
