I use the metal lug nuts, it helped with loose wheels on my lancer. search the forum cuz i think someone had a similar problem a while back i'll try to find the thread but I think everyone suggested some sort of spacer in that thread...not sure though.

Metal bearings help because you can tighten them a lot without having to worry about them cracking or popping off.

BBs help so much with wheel slop. my firebird wheels were flopping EVERYWHERE and i got the RS BBs, no more wheel slop. you dont noticew that much of a difference in the speed of your ride, maybe half a mile an hour. just make sure to keep em greased and you'll be fine with the BBs

yeah, go with the bearings from Radio Shack. But don't worry if your tires wobble a little bit, I've got a tC and a G35, and there is a little bit of play in the wheels. Its not bad, its auctually a good thing. It keeps em from rubbing against the knuckles, which would lock up your wheels. Not a good thing. Good luck man!

this question is not really a mod section question. This is a beginner question. Maybe a moderator could move it? Plus, it's been answered SOOO many times already, you could've just done a search...

god people just keep starting threads in the wrong place.........dude if youre a begginner and you have a beginner question, post in the Beginers question section. Makes sense to me. And try changing your nuts and tightening them.
