I recommend $220 Work RS nuts. Comes with the Work logo on the end (+20hp). So far since my car has sat in the shed the wheels haven't fallen off either.

Due to this, I am currently awaiting delivery of a red set as blue nuts don't suit me.

Forget about what 'at speed' is because not all, but a lot of the cars owned by the members of this forum are street cars, that aren't put through any more stress or strain than the rest of the vehicles on the road, and if these so called 'cheap' wheel nuts were so problematic, wheels falling off of every second commodore that has purchased their wheel nuts from your local Supercheap Auto would be a lot more common... However, for the life of me, I can't say that I've read such stories lately.

I could weigh in here with material compositions and shit, but just cant be arsed.

Personally I use the KKR forged aluminium nuts.
Have used them on both sets of my wheels for street and competition.
I always torque mine. No wheels have fallen off.

I suspect though that they have become magnetised and sucked a fence post into the front of my car at great velocity.
