Well, I'm the type of person who researches all kinds of nonsense and gets really upset about bad reviews of things that I think are good products. I took a chance because they had very few reviews but I'm glad I did. That's great. I was OOOOOO sick of those standard GD nuts getting stuck in my socket and having to pry them out with a vice only to knock the nut out of the stupid outer cap. They are good quality, they slide on the pins as smooth as butter, tighten easily up to 100 inches per pound, and they are nice and shiny. Once you've researched the correct size of a standard nut (e.g. 12mm x 1.5) for the posts and the correct end shape for your rim, stem or whatever (e.g. cone/corn, dome or disc magnet). . you'll be fine!
