Default Just curious... weight of lugnuts...

First of all does anyone know the weight of 1 stock honda lugnut.

Also what are the top 3 lightest aftermarket lugnuts out there. And for each lugnut I would like to know, if you do know. I hate to be a dick but please no "I think they weigh this, and I think they are this much replies)

1.) The exact weight
2.) The exact price you got them for
3.) The exact place you ordered or bought them from.
4.) The quality of the lugnut.

light stuff breaks. if you want to worry about unsprung weight get a lighter rim or tire. stock lugs are cheap and work

I have light rims pretty much there 12lbs each. I want to know about lugnuts not your suggestion on my rims... And brakes aren't a rotational mass part.

THe rotor is a rotational mass. Bigger rotors increase the mas of the rotating assembly.
