Aluminum Wheel Knots

[ru$$ell]

i saw tyre clinic 2000 ltd has red wheel nuts for sale, i called and a girl told me that they are aluminum and not recommended for daily use cause when they heat up , it runs loose. i really wanna put this on my car, and i saw a few other cars with the same thing on. also someone else told me that they can be used on daily driven cars, so anyone who knows excatly please help, thanks.

why would they make wheel nuts that come loose when hot??

what are you supposed to use them for???

^^^so the woman say

car show purposes only? dat's kinda sheity !!

i dont think she knows what she is talking about, the person that had the lug nuts fall off, probably didnt tighten them or there were the wrong nuts for that type of wheel (had that happen with the my last car - wheel almost fell off)

find out the brand and research it on the web... why would a car shop sell the lug nuts and tell you that??? sounds stupid.

Not to me, if they sell it and they said that it is not for daily use, don't use if for daily use. Plain and simple. use it and when you wheel fly out and you mash up your car, you go blame the people who sell it.

Hi guys new to this site. I have red wheel nuts which i got from car boutique not sure if it's aluminum. They work well and look good 2. the only problem those tyre shop men use their air gun to tighten and it's a beyotch to remove.

Proper light weight wheel knots are made of Duraluminum, many race teams use them. But be wary of rip offs

Read it again... you didn't follow what I was saying. That is for anyone reading this and wanting to buy some.

No no, What Jr. saying is that the race teams use the Duraluminum ones, whereas, some unreputable people may try to sell imitations...which are not safe.
