Cliff - with a 4' lever on the socket and guessing you are putting your weight of 100 to 150 lbs on the end of the lever which means you are putting between 400 and 600 ft-lbs of torque on the lug bolts. I don't have my charts handy but that is way too much torque. just my 2 cents.

Thats actually a great idea from Peter. I may try a couple of these lug nut bolts just to see how they fit.I doubt using these are going to drop us a few points in judging. How would any judge really know these were on a car.

I had my original cast hubs crack tested and was horrified to see they were full of cracks. The steel hubs are the only way to go for safe driving.
