My license for "ballin out of control" has been revoked... but I still got Muteki SR48 lug nuts.

The materials seem to be appropriate (AISI 50BV30 B steel). It's a Chromoly steel, but a bit more mild (less carbon and alloying elements).

Relatively happy with the materials and tolerances. They spin on effortlessly, and only a tiny bit of slop when seated.
