You are absolutely right.

The really expensive ones are lighter, so you are saving rotational mass I guess.

This was an impulse buy, because the deal was so good. I was not even sure I was going to like them, but I do. It looks kind of neat and different from the standard black or silver lug nuts.

And isn't that what visual mods are all about, to look different.

Same reason you are not running stock wheels.

I had/have both Mutaki and Project Kics lug nuts. A lot weight differences! Not only that, the project Kics lug nuts are 2 pieces lug nuts which means when you rotate the lug nuts, the seat that contacts to your wheels doesn't rotates thus it won't scratch your high end wheels which is a plus.

On top of that, it absolutely adds points when you compete in a car show. Not that everyone cares tho. But yea those lug nuts Kics nuts lol.

Now how about $400+ for a shift knob?? Lmao
