    Default FS McGard spline lug nuts

    I recently bought these

    http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/21-1058.html

    but they won’t work for me.

    They are intended to be very small diameter, so if a normal lug nut or socket would scratch up your wheels, these won't.

    The issue I have is that I wanted them for my autocross wheels, which I remove/install with a cordless impact gun.

    The key or socket for these is aluminum, and won’t stand up to using an impact. Must be tightened/loosened by hand. Not an issue if you only do it once every few months or so, but an issue for me when I do it every weekend.

    Wish the Goodwin ad or the McGard site had mentioned that.

    16 to a set, I bought 18, not used.

    New was $69 plus $4 ea for two extra, so I paid $78 plus shipping.

    Sell for $70 cash or paypal shipped within the metroplex, or grab at an autocross.

    I have a set and use an impact, not to torque them though. No problems yet, although it's not every weekend.

    Also, maybe you meant to post in Classifieds?

    I emailed Goodwin and Brian answered and said do not use an impact to remove

    that is my issue

    I do hand torque to tighten

    and yes, maybe the mods can move to classified if this is the wrong place

    parts seems to be a mix of wanted, for sale, and info sharing
