I was using the Skunk2 lug nuts on the Rotas. I was using them with the oem studs. If I were to use them again. I'll put on the extended studs as Skunk2 recomends.
^^
thanks man :thumbsup:
Well I think its a good idea if using 'any' alloy nuts to also use extended studs.
What does Rays say? Has anyone seen if the recomend using long studs if using thier alloy lug nuts?
i found that this company gives the NOTED WARNING at the bottom of there ad:
so people please becarefull
Rays Engineering, the maker of Volk Racing Wheels, has released a new line of performance lug nuts. Made from Duraluminum, these lug nut are extremely strong and light (the Rays lug nuts are 0.8 oz. each compared to 2.1 oz. for the stock pieces). In addition to the performance aspects, the Rays lug nuts also feature one 7-sided nut per wheel. These heptagonal nuts look stock from a distance, but can only be removed with the specially designed socket that comes with the set. Available in anodized red, blue, or black. It's a great way to protect your wheels! Sets are sold in packs of 20 pcs only.
Please specify size.
