UM...yeah. Not as lucky as you think. Radio Sack sells metal nuts(2/56) $1.99 for 40. You paid $0.99 for 4. here is the link http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search

You paid $.25 a nut
I pay about $.05 a nut. Who's the lucky one??

i think darkmajik was saying that he bought some of the pretty over priced ones from a place like AM for cheap...at least thats my interpretation of [B]real[B]alloy nuts...

Like that? That was a take off of that old Kenny Rodgers song "you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille". But you knew that.

Those 2-56 nuts from radio shack are the best bargain for the money and is way better than the the stock plastic ones. Yea, the nylon insert nuts might be the real best way to go, but the 2-56 ones from RS are cheaper. Just my opinion.

I bought those ones for my cars as well. Cheap solution and looks great. But I haven't tried any real hard driving with those on. Now I'm concerned, maybe it's time to switch to nylon inserts?
