Not bad either. I know I am probably stupid, but I am sketched out by aluminum lightweight lugs nowadays. After realizing how much heat is in my wheels/brakes/fatigue/stress, I just don't think they are a good idea for a track car. I have had cracking issues with my Forgeline Aluminum wheels, and cast DForce LTW wheels. I just imagine a very HOT aluminum lug nut with the 1.46-1.54 average Gs being put through them being bad.
Cheap steel ones should work in your situation and save you some money :thumbup:
I run stupid expensive lug studs and steel nuts since I had problems breaking studs.
