what lugs nuts you guys are running?
 
I completed my first track event the other weekend, and my lug nuts were completely falling apart when taking them off. They were NRG Lugs, but damn.. didn't expect it to be so bad. Makes me wary of aluminum lugs now. I was wanting opinions on OPEN ENDED lugs for track use. I have extended studs so open ended is a must.

NRG uses really crappy materials. If material and finish QC aren't done correctly, bad things can happen. At this point, you are better off running chromoly lug nuts.

I use CSG aluminum lug nuts for 30+ track events so far. Highly recommended.

WedSport steels on ARP studs. Ran alloys at first but kept stripping them at the track because of improper over torque

Chromoly you can be an idiot on torque settings. Aluminum is a little more ductile so torque settings must be careful. When using anti-seize, we back off on the torque settings by 5 to 10 ft-lbs. The resulting torque is about ~75ft-lbs. This has worked very well. :)

Cheap Gorilla open end lug nuts. They're steel but still pretty lightweight. I don't like the Mutekis because they're heavy.

Im using McGard lugs nuts, seem to be working fine for me. Changed my wheels probably 20 times last summer with no problems. 10+ autox events and 1 track day.

Do the CSG Lug nuts work with rpf1's to use it on track?
