Sweet. Just got new lug nuts in.
 

ART (applied racing technologys) Had some lugnuts for a good price ($1.00 for steel and a bit more for aluminum) I just ordered the steel ones a couple of days ago and I got them in today. Did not want to warp or F@#$ around with aluminum lugs.
Great customer service. They called to fix a CC issues I had, and I got the parts the following day.

I plan on doing more business with them.

Glad to see you took my advice to Chung. Buying steel over aluminum and buying from ART. ;)

What's wrong with aluminum lugs? I've got Emilio's 6061 lugs and they are awesome.

Wear your old ones out from swapping for autox?

no I was tired of using an F@#$ key to undo all the lugs every time I raced.

They can warp. I forget what I have read on recommend replacement intervals.

told you I would :fawk:

I use the same ones in aluminum on my ES car. Never had any problems.

aluminum can gall but i have no direct experience.

My problem is mostly with open-ended nuts and rust dribbling out and looking all hooptie.

I have those too and i've taken them off and on about 40-50 times (swapping wheels for auto-x and track days) with no problems at all.

I put a decent amount of anti-seize. Keeps it from doing that

I need some anodized black ones....

So I looked up "Galling" and it turns out it'll only do that if it's aluminum-on-aluminum or stainless-on-stainless.

Aluminum wont gall on mild steel lugnuts.

However it'll chew up your rims so keep an eye on that.

Though you'd like to see how mine lug nuts are the cost me a pretty penny but i love them

I'm still happy with my mcgards. They weren't $1 a piece though.

set of 20 with key is $40.

dang those are cheap...mine's cost me 110 bucks but there well worth it

Love my Aluminum lugs...not that I think there is a performance difference (at least for the average joe)..they came on the car (some stripped out). I use anti-seize and torque them every time. Already switched them 20 times or more with track days, heat cycling new tires, etc.

I use Jet-Lube brand Moly-Mist. It's a dry moly spray. It doesn't spread all over everything like regular anti-seize or contaminate the brakes.
