Just put through an order for some genuine Rays Racing 17 Hex 2 piece open end 48mm wheel nuts. Cro-Moly not Duralium.
Figured it would be blasphemy to run flogged out Rota nuts with Rays rims. I do actually need them though. My Rota GT50s are absolutely shagged. They only lasted a year or so worth of on and offs before they flogged out to the point you can hardly use them. Every time I go to use them, the nuts are so worn that they jam up in the adapter, and the adapter is so worn that it jams up in the socket. I literally have to get a hammer and bash the socket off the adapter. And if thats how soft the steel is, you can only imagine how the threads are holding up?
On the other hand, the ARP studs look good still. The are clearly made of a higher grade steel than Rota use....
