Default OBX Lug Nuts

Does anyone have/had these? I guess I should have posted the question before I bought it but the lugs are super light and I'm afraid that these are not strong enough and might break while going down the road.

They should be fine... I don't think you should have any problems with it.

I have rays lugs on mine and they weigh like a billizionth of a ounce. I thought the same thing that you did with them being so light. But i have had them on my car for months with no problems. Even racing the car at the track the lugs stay tight. Try them and let us know what you think.

Make sure to use anti-seize compound when installing them, and torque them properly. Also note that these should not be used on OEM Honda wheels.

well there wearing when you take the nut off and on. car only goes out once a month for autocross so i can't really say if it strong enough for DD. so far so good. been to 3 autocrosses.

some wear on the edges b/c i torque the wheels before each event.

I work for Paratech Inc. And I deal with some metal there since they make their tools with metal. And 6061 aluminum is cheap as cost and is very commonm but pretty durable. If they are made out of 7075 which is a better quality. I would have no worries. Just giving some imput. If this doesnot help I am sorry.
