looking at some rays lug nuts and i can't seem to see much difference between these 3 other than the price... 1. 35mm length, made from Duraluminum http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/m...EM&Product_Code=RAYS-DURANUT&Category_Code=L1 2. Made from hardened steel http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/m...=EM&Product_Code=RAYS-W1712B&Category_Code=L1 3. 42mm medium length, made from Duraluminum http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/m...uct_Code=RAYS-42LUG-GUNMETAL&Category_Code=L1 1 and 3 look to be the same except for the length. Number 2 looks like the lock nut is different. Anyone know anything else?
# 1 has more color options than #3, but are made from the same material (I think). Also, Duraluminium is a type of alloy, so I am not sure how strong they are compared to the steel. But, give #1 and #3 a try though.
Construction and length appear to be the only differences between #1 and #3. Project Kics are the best out there but they are a couple hundred dollars. I would say go with #2 since they are steel, also. That's why the Muteki's were so popular, good lugs for the price but the finish didn't hold up.
I assume that duraluminum is some aluminum alloy. So it save you maybe a few ounces of unsprung weight. Woopty do. And you have to deal with the chance that it will seize or crossthread. No thanks. Go with steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
