Lug nuts. On new wheels

[nfs060]

So I received my new wheels today and the vendor included these black Aluminium lug nuts.
I purchased these Titanium ones to use. What do you think. Stick with the short titanium or use the black ones. Are the Aluminium ones strong enough?

I would go titanium for the strength and weight. The aluminum ones are not my first choice, as they might oxidize to the bolts, also likely to split under over-torquing.

I am not a snob by any stretch—I run an $18 set of steel lug nuts, including probably 20 wheel removals. But, I’d be uncomfortable with aluminum lug nuts at this torque value.

The two nuts you have pictured have different seat sizes. One looks like an extra large seat, for Tesla OEM wheels, and one looks like a standard size seat, usually for aftermarket wheels. I would use the recommended lug nuts for your wheels, so you are mating the right size seat to the wheel surface.

Yes I think you are right.Thanks. I will measure them tomorrow to make sure.

Titanium all the way, was the first thing I did when I got my car to shed unsprung weight, done 18k miles so far thread on the tyres still looks good close to new, still on my 1st set Michelin sport 4s 18", even removed the mud guard to improve drag and added a carbon fiber spoiler to improve down force, consider a front lip splitter from "unplugged performance" next

Can someone include rhe link to where to buy titanium lug nuts?

 

[LiYonJin]

"Unplugged performance" or you can get them from AliExpress, make sure it's grade 5 titanium
