Aftermarket wheel nuts

[Nathan_621]

Was looking at some new aftermarket wheel nuts, what are people using?

Was thinking of some Muteki nuts.

Just try and stick to steel nuts in my opinion, heard many stories of lightweight alloy nuts stripping easily, although that never happened to me, the two sets of alloy nuts i had on my dc5 always worked loose on trackdays which is another very common issue

Personally i just use the steel gt50 style nuts from Driftworks, steel, strong, pretty cheap and a decent durable finish in a range of colours

A lot of people are against alloy nuts, I've been using Rays genuine ones this year. I greased the threads and always torque them. Never had any issues with them coming loose or seizing.

Think I‘ll be going for Steel nuts rather than alloy. Thanks guys, Drifworks option seems good or even the Muteki option.

I used to have d1 spec lightweight and the garage used an air gun to remove the wheel and cracked half of them... I then went to standard for a while...


However, I have since bought some muteki extended lug nuts and i'll just make sure I put standard ones on for when I go to garages etc.

I did notice that it does mention about garages chewing up lug nuts if you use a air gun. Muteki looks like one of the best options.

Just ask the garage not use the gun on them, wheel nuts should always be torqued anyway. My Rays alloy ones haven't caused me an issue so far.
