lite weight lug nuts

[ViperGeorge]

Just bought a set of lite weight lug nuts off of Ebay. They were around $26 for 24. All 24 weigh about as much as 4 OEM lug nuts. They are made of aluminum. Has anyone used these before? How about on the track (road course)?

I have these for autocrossing and so far so good. I don't think for $30 though I'm going to trust them at the track. I keep re torquing them and they seem to be staying tight I just wonder how many times you can take them on and off before they start to stretch the threads.

Just ran them @ Sebring and they didn't back off any.

I use them on the E.T lugs on my SS. No problems with them backing off.

*** Be very careful using an impact on them.***

I was always worried about running those, how about some feedback on these as well.

Anyone have any experience with these.

The links don't show nuts in our size though. Vipers use 1/2-20.

Good catch, I didn't notice that. I'm going to call the Tire Rack to see if they have anything comparable for our cars. To be honest I'm pretty leary about those lug nuts you got. I'm sure they'd be fine for Drag Racing.
