Hey Owgasm
this product made by 7075 aluminium alloy (AA7075)
7075 aluminium alloy (AA7075) is an aluminium alloy, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It has excellent mechanical properties, and exhibits good ductility, high strength, toughness and good resistance to fatigue. It is more susceptible to embrittlement than many other aluminium alloys because of microsegregation, but has significantly better corrosion resistance than the alloys from the 2000 series. It is one of the most commonly used aluminium alloy for highly stressed structural applications, and has been extensively utilized in aircraft structural parts
I've had RAYS 'duralumin' (similar sort of aero-grade high-tensile aluminium alloy) lug nuts for around 15 years, the only problem I've ever had with them is the anodising tends to discolour due to heat from heavy braking. There's no reason you couldn't paint them or buff them down to a chrome-like mirror finish if that's your style, I personally don't mind the faded look. They're a fraction of the weight of steel nuts, if you care about reducing weight and put high quality (and costly) low weight rims on your ride, these are a good idea.

I don't like hp but kw
Aluminium wheel nuts, must not value your life
If there were pure aluminium, I'd agree. AFAIK there's no such thing, though - they're all various high strength, extremely low weight alloys. Various magnesium/aluminium alloys are used for numerous steering and wheel components in racing applications as weight reduction is crucial, without reducing strength or reliability. Would you say the same thing about aircraft? They use similar metals, subject to much greater stresses, and they manage to keep hundreds of humans in the sky without falling apart.
For $49 I doubt they are anything as fancy as you describe hahaha
locknuts are mostly pointless. you can just bash on a sacrificial socket to get them off, especially when they are as soft aluminum. if anyones after your wheels they already know this (and if they dont have to do it, the tyre shop will when you inevitably lose the key)
steel wheel nuts are available in chrome or black and to suit most vehicles. I got a set for a 4x4 (6 nuts per wheel, 4 wheels, 24, so 4 spare for my car) for $40 on ebay delivered. just dont get the 7 sided ones. hex 19mm in whatever thread/size suits your vehicle.
Hi Laserface
Yes, your right. but some people want their car has same quilty locknuts as steel wheel nuts but lighter weight and high strength. The aluminium lug nuts are the best choices.
Never lost a lock nut key, you must be doing something wrong…
I also change my wheel nuts before taking the car to a tyre shop - I barely trust them not to scratch the rims, I certainly don't trust them not to strip a nut from an expensive kit I had to import from Japan.
Yes, if someone wants your rims there's always a way to get them off, but they need opportunity - keep your ride in a lock up garage, not on the street, and you've immediately vastly reduced that opportunity.
tyre shops have lost every single one of my locknut keys in the past.
your expensive nuts imported from japan are mostly the same as these, maybe better QA/binning.
there are significantly better cost/kg options to reduce vehicle weight than spending money on alloy wheel nuts. for example, removing the interior trim can save upwards of 100KG and doesnt cost you a cent.
buy em or dont, but dont pretend you are doing it for performance sake. they look pretty and that is literally all they do.
If a tyre shop had lost something of mine, I certainly wouldn't go back. Losing all of them is extremely bad luck. Surely they must deal with them constantly? I have to admit, checking the lock nut is there is something I've always checked before I pay for the job… But then, I'm the kind if OCD person who takes everything out of the glove box(es) etc so the car is utterly bare before anyone works on it - the best way to avoid light fingered mechanics is to have nothing to steal in the first place.
Oh I also inform them there's a GPS tracker and telemetry 'black box' on the car 'so best not to disconnect the battery if you don't have to'. That has nothing to do with disconnecting the tracker (it has battery backup), it's so they know I'll know if they joyride in it.
And yes, you can save even more weight having custom carbon fibre panels made to replace fenders, doors, bonnet etc - I'm well aware that in real terms the wheel nuts are pretty close to the edge of the curve (although their rolling weight is actually far greater than you'd expect due to the effect of centrifugal force). Considering how much they cost compared to many other weight saving measures, and the fact that they're unmatched in looks by any steel nuts I've ever seen, I've always been very happy to have bought them - in fact, when a lug bolt snapped off in a nut, instead of trying to find a single replacement, I just got a whole new set :-)
There are a lot of fake D1s out there (the last time I was a Ricer in the 1990s - 2000s). Just be careful. If you can buy D1s made in Japan - it’s a pretty sure way of confirming they are the genuine stuff.
Hi siu_long_bao
