Just wondering if anyone else has been exposed to these - I have seen them for years at my local track and are sourced from a local racer that really does not seem to advertise at all.. They make wheel removal/install on any shank lug car much faster, easier and weigh nothing hardly.. The entire bag of 10 I bought from a friend who knows the seller will not even register on home scale which updates by .5.. I weighed 214.5 with and without the bag after several tries. I would assume it weight around .5 or less by my hand scale.. I also would assume the 1.25 steel shank lugs weigh over 2 lbs per 10..

Here is a pic of them.. Not trying to promote for anyone, actually hear that the guy who sold them died on Christmas so unsure if they will even still be sold but enjoy..
But they are effective weight removal and much earier for fast wheel removal, the lugs are locking BTW. Not sure if SFI rating is needed, but like I said they have been on 50% of my local tracks race cars.. I will try to weigh some actual shank lugs and update when I get un lazy.

 

Just upgrade to 5/8" drive studs

 

buddy of mine has aluminum lugnuts, and i know of another car with titanium lugnuts. can get pricey though.

 

These are lighter and easier to install.. And I have them

 

Yeah I had searched for those years ago, Aluminum that is and could only find for Imports.. I have these though, very light compared.. Minimal in the grand scheme of things though, but everything counts.. These are $50 for the set of 10, nice thing is they are same outside diameter as the washers being my wheels have the slotted holes and mine take center holes.

 

just get one of those cordless 19.2 volt impact guns! I hear they work so well. makes getting nuts off quick and easy like nascar pit crews.

 

Aluminum nuts aren't legal for competition use. To easy to unknowingly crack and/or strip.

Ti is nice, but for a quality high strength grade it will cost you some serious coin.

 

did not know that..... i do know the particular lugnuts i was talking about were run quite awhile in the nmra.

 

I finally upgraded to 5/8 studs this winter.

 

what did you pay to have the axles redrilled/tapped for the bigger studs? Was debating upgrading my moser 35 splines and never remember to call around on it.

 

We have a local shop that did mine for $180. That's installing the studs, drilling my rotors and includes the nuts and spacers.

 

I should specify, most aluminum nuts aren't legal. Some of the billet ones have approval, but must be "handled with care" to not shorten their life. - Basically just hand tighten with torque wrench, no impact guns.

 

I run a similar set-up up front wish I had pics handy. been like this for years. uses arp hardware in the strange studs.
