Get some NUTS!!

[tron2k3]

I'm after a new set of wheel nuts for my Rota Torques, currently have some Rays ones in black but they seem very soft and aren't going to last much longer.

Anyone recommend any?

Currently thinking of Buddy club or Mugen's anyone had any experience of these? I want some which are hard wearing as I may do a few track days this year and will need to change wheels quite often.

Get the BuddyClub ones, make sure they are racing ones, they are hard as nails!

Speak to Paul from www.buddyclubuk.com, top bloke!

No mate, the forged steel racing ones, a little heavier yes but they are used on the BuddyClub ATC race car that they have. If the nut is cross threaded it will cut a new thread, they are that good!

They look great too, even on my OEM's!

I got the Mugen heptagonal ones or whatever they are called.

I had the Muteki ones from Unit-8 and was very impressed with them.

Good price too..

Thanks for the replies

I think I'm going to go for the Buddy Club ones just for the reason they are the hardest :lol:

Have you been using a torque wrench to tighten them up?

I can recommend the Buddy Club nuts they also have chamfered edges so they will stay in very nice condition unless you use impact gun on them.

Yes

only to about 100 I think standard honda ones are set to 110.

I think its because they are so soft.

Blimey I thought you might have been overtightening them - I've had some Kyokugen alloy ones for about three years that are still fine and not chewed despite lots of wheel changes :?

When you say 100, I take it you mean 100Nm not 100Lbf-ft?

Need to add that I mean these aluminium ones (P-1 RACING NUT). Have used these for a while already and have been very satisfied.

I've got 80Nm in my head for some reason as the Honda figure, or there abouts :?

yes 100nm I use 98Nm to be exact.

That's a bit poor re the Rays nuts then, considering how much they cost :?

Luckily I didn't pay full price I got them for free well swapped my standard ones for them.
