Review on JDMSPEED 14X1 5MM Extended Forged Aluminum by Elvis Kohl

At first they looked great and looked great I have two sets of tires that I change frequently. a set of street tires for the daily commute and a few muddy patches for winter/off-road use. I've only switched back and forth between the two sets three times since wearing them. they fit well and stay in place, which looks great, but they're aluminum; When aluminum heats up it's very easy to wear and extremely prone to cross threading, which shouldn't be a problem as aluminum dissipates heat very quickly, but also absorbs/releases heat quickly. the last time the tire was changed everything was fine until the very last nut started to cross the threads on the bolt, of course i didn't notice it until it was screwed in 3/4, i tried to unscrew it to assess the damage, but it got stuck so much that i had to climb out of my 1000ft/lb air wrench to loosen it, after which it ripped the threads to pieces leaving a perfectly smooth surface on the nut and bolt. While they suggest you use a steel alloy nut to remove the bolt, it will cost you around $1.50 to $5 for parts and two to three hours of labor as replacing the bolt will most likely require removing the hub assembly wheels by 90% becomes. all brands and models. I had a quote from the store, they said it would be $218 to fix. I decided, knowing better, to simply run a tap on the bolt to solve the problem by cutting aluminum from the steel bolt threads that were still intact. . Luckily the aluminum wasn't 100% mated to the steel threads and was able to save the bolt; Unfortunately about 3/4 of all the studs on my car had to be cleaned as the aluminum separated from the nuts and mated with the steel. After cutting all the studs and replacing them with the correct ones, I picked them up in the Autozone (as it should have originally been, but no. I had to be cheap, didn't I). These nuts look amazing on my shiny black wheels, but at what cost. Don't be like meBuy traditional STEEL! Nuts and save yourself the headache and time of cleaning up your issues
