I Love Nuts!


I Love Nuts!
Haha! Ahem...erm... yeah. Lug nuts. These little pieces of metal are the only thing that keep your wheels from careering off their hubs as tremendous forces pull and push your car through it's 4 small feet of metal and rubbery goodness. They're also what stops some random from stealing your £1,400 worth of RAYS VOLK TE37s. Futhermore, don't underestimate the weight issue. 4 stock nuts weigh approximately 200grammes. Thats the difference between a Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 and a OZ Super Leggra.

Bah, who the hell am I kidding? It's all about aestetically value. I just love looking at nuts!

The Entrants

1. Stock Honda OE Lug Nut for use with steel wheels + plastic wheel trim
2. ROTA wheels lug nuts. Acorn ended.
3. eBay crap-o-rama "tuner" nuts. Acorn ended, but really small contact patch.
4. RAYS Duraluminum anodised long lug nuts. JDM, y0!
