But they ain't purdy enough for my creme puff tracked cobra

Besides, I know you'll help me replace the broken stockers at the track afterdark if need be. Hell, you'll even bring beer and sandwichs since your such a great guy:clap:

Would any of these work for Weld Drag Lites?

That goes without saying on your car, hell you still have an interior in your car. Sometimes you have to choose "business" over "Purdy Creme Puff". In those instances it is best to choose business over GAY, especially when running 'R Comp Tires.

Will they fit a STD. 60 degree conical lug nut that uses a 13/16" socket?

serious question: what makes a lug nut gay?

If you have a set of 5 tamper resistant lug nuts on each wheel and those tamper resistant lug nuts use a special 19MM socket made of tinfoil, well, that is gay. But only if you are going to use said lug nuts on the track, for a daily driver they are perfect on a Honda Civic, especially if it has a 2-stage wing on the back.

I was waiting for this thread
pictures of sheared lug studs tomorrow maybe?(if I have time)

damn, I had fun shearing those though, having your wheel almost fall off barrelling into a corner at 100 mph makes for an interesting feeling
they probably would have been fine had I not been such a lazy ass and at least retorqued them once throughout the day

then again, this comes from the man who runs his brake pads down to the backing plates on cracked rotors and has had multiple brake failures

Look at the bright side, now I owe you a nice case of beer and some new lug studs and nuts :alcoholic

your wife is also da bomb,
late night sandwiches and beer in the paddock ftw!

Justin, I already deleted the rear seat when I installed the harness bar. The rest of the interior is staying in.

Maybe I should buy a set a wheels for R-comps just to use at Autobahn since I live close enough to not have to deal with a tire trailer

 

[Mystic Terminator]

If you have trouble making up your mind, I would get some Nitto NT-01's and give them a try. You can drive them on the street, imo, although some say they are not good in the rain? Not as much grip as other 'R compounds, but quite a bit and affordably priced.

 

[Fast99Snake]

your gonna need a seat probably if u do the r comps too
that saves like 30 lbs
