Rpf1 lugnuts and hub centric rings?
 
Are the OEM lugnuts good to use with a set of RPF1's? What do people recommend for hubcentric rings? My RPF1 set will see AutoX and HPDE so I feel like it would be wise to try and find metal centering rings, due to higher than average heat. Am I wrong?

Yes, they'll be fine. Not sure about the rings.

Yes if you autox you are better off with metal hub rings. You can find them on ebay, your application is fairly common so it should be fairly cheap.

You don't need rings, but you'll definitely want metal if you do get them. Plastic will definitely melt on the track.

With properly torqued taper seat lugs centering rings aren't necessary, three summers of tracking RPF1's on mine and zero issues.

Tire shop stretched every last stud of mine. You'll NEED longer lugs. You may be able to get away without but heed my experience.

Actually, thinking back on it. The stock acorns are very much so too short. You can achieve the correct torque with them but it will absolutely be at the expense of your studs. I can't remember the size off hand but I bought some plain guerrilla spline drive lugs.

What lugs do you use?

Muteki SR48, nothing fancy but they're durable and work.

Depending on the size you choose you might want to consider extended aftermarket lug nuts. For example, on my 18x9.5 with the stock lugs I found that I sometimes chipped paint off with my socket because the lugs were so inset.

I use TF-Works aluminum hub rings:

And McGard SplineDrive lugs, part number 65554. I got mine from Amazon.

I have a question... with hub centric rings do the RPF1 center caps still fit?
