Lightweight Wheel nuts.

[jasin66]

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.

Black sounds good put me down for a set

Thanks

[adznight]

God damn in I just bought a set, good price you have

[pablo321]

im in for a blue set

is this group buy still going ahead ?

[ed]

If we get under 5 then shipping won't be included in the cost

I'll end this next friday.

[Duncan]

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.

Duncan, shipping would be $7.50 (express post).

Sydney people can pick up I guess. :wassup:

[adznight]

:werd: Rattle guns are great to undo nuts but I never use them to do them up

[Scotsman]

I'll take a set in Red please.

Shipping to Melbourne. Let me know when and where you need the cash.

[Duncan]

Excellent thats 5, is the order going ahead? please confirm logistics

Price: $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.

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]

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

[Scotsman]

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.

yep, but these are not the standard size.

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.
