Personally, I'm afraid of them on track... I use steel lugs to put my mind at ease.

There from Emilio's website. I'm sure they are of high quality.

"Lightweight forged 7075 T-6 aluminum hex lugs."

I was more concerned when I pull off track to check the torque. Should I let them cool or not. Im not familiar with aluminum's heat absorption or if this will be an issue.

Never touch them when they are hot... let them cool

thanks Ben,

I just picked this car up a month ago. I'm going to buttonwillow this weekend to try out a few things. I'll be back in the S2Ki challenge just after fontana. Have fun.
