I am somewhat disgusted with the quality of the lug nuts supplied with the Revolution wheels I was using last year (threads not centered, material way too soft, company now out of business, etc.). Th

Good thought - I do have access to a Rockwell hardness checker. I could check stud hardness, then choose material. Being a Boss Mustang guy, try not to laugh - these are Spridget 3/8 studs torqued to

Hopper is an idiot savant... and leans more to the idiot side most of the time... yet we manage to keep him around (suppose that says something about us?) Hopefully, Grenade will chime in soon. He's
