Review on 🦍 Gorilla Automotive 42133BK Black 12mm x 1.50 Thread Size Aluminum 5-Lug Kit - Small Diameter, Pack of 20 by Brandon Mercado

I bought these primarily to save weight. Do they really matter? Absolutely. The wheels feel easier to steer, bumps don't affect chassis stability as much, and acceleration and braking have been slightly improved. I didn't measure an increase in mileage, but I never got it, for the simple reason that I didn't need to use it anymore. While forged aluminum will never match the strength of steel, nor the combination of lightness and rigidity of their much more expensive titanium counterparts, they still fall short of the general consensus that if you use aluminum nuts, DO NOT use them to track your vehicle. or outside of it. -road and NEVER, under any circumstances, expect them to stay as tight as steel nuts. Do not use an impact wrench as they can strip the threads. Likewise, a manual torque wrench lets you use as much brute force before it affects nuts or your hands. They are not designed to be on-off-off and may not last longer after a few tire mounts. After a few kilometers they will loosen - not immediately, but gradually, and you will find that not only are you tightening them a little each time, but your conscience as well. After 120 miles of normal driving, the fronts weren't as tight as I put them on. The back ones are pretty tight. If I had the patience to check them every 100km it wouldn't be a problem. But the average Joe has neither such patience nor such low tolerance when it comes to the crucial part of car safety. I had to let go of them and click the buy button on the authentic titanium set ($115 for 20 pack). Better to be safe than sorry later.
