Installation and safety issues - returned product

I bought these for my wife's 2017 Nissan Maxima and they actually match the thread size and wheel bolt length. However, the external dimensions of the nuts are significantly smaller than standard nuts, leading to two problems: 1) The bottom flange of the nuts is not wide enough or deep enough (beveled) to secure the rim, let alone ensure the bolt is centered is through the hole in the rim. If the wheel is not correctly centered on the wheel hub, there is a safety risk (vibrations while driving) and the rim can be damaged after being driven over. 2) Because the jam nuts are smaller in diameter than usual and therefore require the included socket adapter, there is a higher chance of the nuts being pulled off the socket. Larger nuts have a flatter surface for the wrench to rub against. 3) The wrench adapter is made of thin steel and hardly deformed by tightening the nuts (e.g. an air ratchet). She will never grab them safely again. I have no idea where a person can easily buy a replacement without a second set of nuts. That's why I decided to return this kit without daring to ride it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
