I love riding around, half concious, in the boot of your car. Trapped in the blackness with only the drone of the exhaust as a soundtrack. The stones hitting the bottom of the car feel like light is shining on the voids in my soul.

Jesus christ. To be honest, they won't save a huge amount of weight. I certainly wouldn't like to drive around the track with those on! May as well use regular alloy nuts - however, a deeper socket would have done them up wouldn't they?

They're made wrong anyway. The collar is clearly a part of the nut, they should have a loose collar which turns seperately from the rest of the nut.

The ally of the nut would bind against the ally of the wheel and prevent them being tightened correctly.

I think everything about these nuts were wrong...both how they are made and how they were fitted...The quality of these were really quite horrible, this could easily be seen by the socket included with the set, which was made of the thinnest metal they could find...A lesson to be learned from some of the cheap things that can be bought from ebay...It's all a bit shocking really :rolleyes:

They were pretty light compare to standard wheelnuts, but in all fairness for that tiny bit of weight saving on a road car, I will be sticking to my heavy SAFE wheelnuts :D

For my girlfriends Ka, actually, I'm going to see how she gets on with 2 per wheel before I 'take the plunge'. My speech is still affected from the experiments we performed last March.

That said, my religion has been fairly well documented on here over the years, so I would think everyone would know? :lol:
