Whats with the steele nuts? Unless you are using your lugs as ballast you might want to look here upgrademotoring.com/wheels/lugnuts.htm .

Hey Steve,
Thanks for that link, much appreciated as well.
I was wondering, what color of nice aluminum lug nuts do you have? That way I could figure out what color to spray paint the steelies when I swap'em out for you.
I think I'll get me a set of those, although they are pricey.

Not quite ideal but they are fairly inexpensive for ally pieces. Might be able to cut them in half and get rid of the tube with the knurled piece on the end.
Steve:
I bought some circle track wheels for my Z a few years back. They come with lug holes made for 45 degree lugs (like circle track racers use) I tried to find 12mm x 1.25 lugs with 45 degree taper and only could find aluminum ones. I thought in race conditions where the wheels are torqued and reomeved a lot it might be OK but got nervous and just used steel. So.... you use aluminum lugs on your car and no problems? torqueing tips? how often replace?
