jasin66 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Sounds like a good idea, would have liked lock nuts, colours suck! I have some Limited Edition Top Secret Volk TE37's coming and they are gold/chrome wheels so colours are no good for me.....Cheers for the info anyway.

Duncan Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hey Ed, I'll take a set in blue as well. Do you have a price for shipping if we have to pay it? BTW, for those that said they don't use a torque wrench on wheel nuts....you probably should, particularly if you are doing track days. It is *very* common to overtorque wheel nuts, and this can cause broken studs as you stretch and weaken them. Rattle guns are may be convenient but they are not a good idea.

Ghostrider Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Product: APX Super Wheel NutsPrice: $120AU shipped within Australia Minimum order: 5 sets Applications: Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Daihatsu and Mazda Descriptions: These come in Red, Blue and Black. Individual weight is 30gm's. APX super-light lug nuts are made from aluminum alloy that is very strong but light (less 50%-60% in weight compared with ordinary steel nuts). Our lug nuts fit all tuner wheels of major Japanese motor models. Each nut has engineered close-end design to prevent rusting. External socket pattern ensures better torque without breakage. Bulge design provides more seating surface than traditional tuner lug nuts. These only come in sets of 20. Do not torque these over 120nm. Participants: 01. 3jai - black (nissan) 02. pablo321 - blue (nissan) 03. babia - black (nissan) 04. Duncan - blue (nissan) 05. Scotsman - red (nissan) Hate to disallusion anyone, but if it's shear weight that's the goal and for race purposes, a standard Nissan zinc plated hex steel wheel nut only weighs 28grams.

adznight Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I've compared a VERY similar nut to the standard ones and let me assure you the stock ones ARE heavier.....I think it's look more than anything I mean let be serious if it's weight loss your after then don't eat lunch before you hit the track Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/67042-lightweight-wheel-nuts/page/2/#findComment-1292351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yeah i'm doing it cause I currently have blue ones and I want red to match my DBA5000's. Lets face it, it's all about rice in the lead up to autosalon.

If they were standard length and open ended they would be even lighter. Group buy is still on. Just waiting on the manufacturer to finish the current batch before I put my order in.
