Fancy some lightweight Titanium nuts that you can use for lifetime?

This long nuts is only 17 grams


Rays nuts - 23 grams



Work nuts - 66 grams



OEM - 32 grams



Here is the worst - Trust nuts which is most expensive aluminium nuts and soft like Todu 28 grams

I have use rays black regular lugs for over 5 years with no issue. Only reason why I don't like open ended lugs is because it allows water to get into threads. I noticed its harder to remove once the rust settles in

Im a big fan of using a little antiseize on my lugs which cures that sticking. Especially when using aluminum on steel.

I'm picking up a set of 949 racing lugs from my friend soon and I'm pumped! They're so light they almost feel like plastic and they seem very durable.

i have "chrome" ones - they're top product.
and rotating seat prevents wheel scratching.
and they're price is super fair.

Sorry for the bump

Got new wheels and I can't get my thin impact 19mm socket on the wheels. Using a regular socket for now

Anyone able to recommend closed ended 17mm lugs?
