Help: Rays duralumin lug nut legal?

[Khimwoon]

like to ask whether are those nuts legal? since they are from japan and duralumin is known to be tougher than those aluminium version.

 

i got the short version, so they won't protude out of the rims.

 

thanks

Got your wheels on your car already bro? Post a pic leh...

 

I think the ruling is that as long as the nut does not protrude out of the wheel area, that should be considered legal.

hi bro... no la the car still dunno where... still waiting my relative to find his kangroo... but hope to get it by this month cos the current ride road tax finishing soon.

 

jus went stamford cancel my booking for the 57s cos dunno wait how long and stamford price i can grab 16" outside.

 

cannot refund as expected so i use the deposit for a set of Rays lug nut "red" and a broadway mirror...

 

come back read some topic on the nut illegal so got worried...

 

the red nut will match the 16" 57c white when the new ride come...

Sounds great! A good deal from JTAN also, so no worries.

Hi! there, French_porn,

 

That's not much of an answer, so you'll have to provide them with the technical specs for the wheel nuts. At the same time, do it for the bolts too.

i do not know the specs for it as the spec is in japanese.

do not know how to translate it.

anyway i still deciding whether to get those wheel nuts or the bolts one.

"i still deciding whether to get"

 

Hi! there, French_Porn,

 

It's either or, not whether.

 

No-one assemble a mix of bolt & nuts on a car.

 

Like all technical specs sent to LTA, translation must be in english.

but duralumin is much stronger than those taiwan aluminium nut... the copper content inside with the proper heat treatment make them very strong...

[Pauly75ts]

"duralumin is much stronger"

 

Hi! there, KhimWoon,

 

You'd think the LTA should know this?

Hi! there, French_Porn,

 

I don't usually use after-market parts for my car, so I can't help there.
