Race star lug nuts
I keep reading that the race star 14m x 1.50 shank lugs are soft and likely to strip. Does anyone know a better replacement? I have the dark star 92 direct with washers. Also what is everyone torquing these to? Thanks in advance.

So I take it that anyone running race star wheels have no issues with the race star lug nuts being soft and stripping.

How often do you swap the wheels out? I just took mine off and there is fine metal shavings and the washers on some are locked on.

No issues and I swap mine every couple weeks. Wish they had a better setup with the washers. They are a pain in the ass sometimes. I have it figured out since I switch them so much.
