THANK you, Greg!!!!!

<<One comment from Dave Russell I remembered is the lug nuts are lock nuts.
The threaded holes are oval, not round like a standard nut.>>

Almost<G>!  A close look would show you that just the "collar" is sprung
inward, slit at 180 degrees, and  only something like 10% of height of
entire nut and are STEEL!!

<< With repeated removal, the locking feature is worn away.>>

NEVER re-use (just like NyLocs)!!!

<< Might be a sign to get new ones.>>

ABSOLUTLY!!!!

And if one or more "loosened" on it's own, means it WAS re-used!

I stock them just for that reason!!

Ed

PS:  And USE them<G>!
