any problems with the stainless steel nuts used on aluminum wheels?

I'm using the ss nuts on galvanized steel wheel rims so cannot offer any advice through experience; however, I don't believe ther will be a problem with aluminum rims based on my experience using ss bolts to secure my kicker motor mount.

Havn't had any problems so far. We used them on the wheels of a boat trailer.

My wheels are steel, so no experience. I would expect some galvanic corrosion. I've always used anti-seize, which is ground aluminum, and it has always worked beautifully. I'm not chemist enough to know if you kept a gas-blocking layer of grease at the interface if it would slow corrosion. I expect that it could. Hope that helps...

I am another boat trailer guy. No problems at all, I do strongly suggest anti-seize on the studs before assembly.

Yes. These lug nuts work perfectly. The only problem I have is that they are big and you can't use a hammer socket with aluminum rims. You have to use a chrome socket.

I have not had any problems with metallic residues. The grinder I use has an ABS plastic body not the metal body of older units. These are Kitchenaid blades and the rotating blade is single sided but the die is compatible with any of the blades. To date I chopped about 20 Lbs of meat; beef, pork, and lamb. I hope this helps.Richard

The rubber and the foam inside the tire is similar to any other high-quality RC truck. The plastic wheel that the tire is on is where it breaks down. So long as you do not put the nuts on to tightly they seem fine. I put them on too tight and cracked a couple of wheels. I then had them replaced for free by the seller and I used locktite and they stayed on fine and have been fine since.

yes they good for Alu rims also. they leave black rubber residue on the rim that can be wiped from time to time. they are good value (at least 2years ago) and good for the money that you spent. hopefully that the current ones are the same

no problem yet but i drilled out the rivets and put on the metal ones on a set. Worked great

I read a couple of other reviews of this product complaining about problems inserting the wheels into the holes. I didn't have a problem with it. My advice is to try again. You must be doing something wrong.

Yes, but they must have the hex shaped lock rings, the old round aluminum lock rings are too wide. I just bout hex shaped RCBS lock rings (nuts) and replaced the old round rings.

That I do not know. When I replaced mine I had to look to see if they were fine or course. It is referring to the lug nut studs.

The low price of $5.90 is for "4" lug nuts. I had the same question when I bought some replacements lug nuts for my Jeep GC. I don't know why Amazon doesn't specify the quantity. These are chromed lug nuts, not stainless steel or capped nuts. I installed my new set and they look great.

Yes they will. Stainless is always a tough job for any bit. Let the R.P.M.'s of the motor do the work and be easy on the tool pressure. Try using a good lubricant/coolant. Have fun.

Yes. States on their website...."The bolts, nuts, and washers are made of food grade stainless steel".

I've had aluminum one for 8 months and have not had that problem. I checked it today and see no signs of a problem.

Rim is plastic, beadlock ring is aluminum. I've ran these for a long time and the plastic is very durable.

I really don't know. I do use it on the aluminum wheels on my car with no problems,

Use the plastic washers under head of hex head cap screws. Without using washers the screws will "coin in" the aluminum and cause a problem for a sliding adjustment or mounting the indicator on the sliding bar. No need to over tighten the screws as the washers provide a good secure grip.

I had them and replaced them with the cycra hand guards.. The aluminum guards work fine but the hardware holding them is crap, cheap metal.. I'd probably just spend the extra couple bucks and get the cycra aluminum hand guards. It's worth the investment
