Lug nut question

HKYStormFront · 11-07-2012, 12:35 PM

a buddy of mine had titek's come off of his 350z on volk CE28's at zdayz last year. another friend was using them all the time but has since made them "show only" lugs, using the stock lugs (on stock wheels) for most trips and track events

Correct torque is critical. I'm pretty wary of the aluminum ones as it is, but if they are good quality and installed correctly then it should be safe.

At track days you have to re-torque the lugs after the first session no matter what you are using as things can move a bit with heat expansion.
