clamp
load to the wheel, rather than trying to wedge apart a conventional
taperseat
wheel. So, if you can find good quality wheels that are designed for use w/
a precision tubular lug nut, go for it. >>
Weld wheels (drag race standard) uses the same system. All aluminum wheels
should be retorqued after 25 miles initially, then checked on a regular basis.
