Only reason I was so interested in them was because of their weight.. or rather lack lack of weight!

cool... I'll be interested in what you hear.
I found by calling you can usually do a little better price wise plus get a few things included, like hubrings & shipping.

^ true but they claim to use the same process as enkei and the RPF are around 19lbs for the 18X10.5 whereas the TC105N is 18.4lbs for the same sizing.. not too much of a weight difference to warrant the $1k increase in pricing, though they do look better IMO but not 2X as good

Surprisingly, they were open today lol. The guy said around $450-$480 each for the gunmetal. He said he couldn't get me an exact price because his Weds rep was out for the holidays.. but he $10 shipping still applied..

If you're tracking stay away from the alum lugnuts (like Rays duralum)
At track temperatures the alum nuts have been know to weld themselves onto the studs.

From what I can find, the Weds are aluminum.
Def not suitable for track use.


These Weds Racing Lug Nuts are composed of Aluminum, and are 62% lighter than Steel Lug Nuts normally used on cars (Steel: 65g, Weds: 25g). These metric nuts are available with open ends for use with longer racing wheel studs and come in a 19mm size.
