Was discussing on another forum whether 8.8 would be strong enough or whether to use 12.9... I wouldn't personally entertain using aluminium alloy if that's what these are.

Anyhoo, maybe a walldrive socket would mark them less.

i have a gb270 wagon with gloss black prodrive wheels - initially cahnged the shiney chrome wheel nuts for d1 spec nuts - marked first time upon tightening albeit slight. I found them to stretch VERY easily. I'm no muppet either, owning snap on torque wrench, snap on sleeved sockets and plently of experience of wheel removal.

I binned them and bought ultralite internal drive - torqued to 65Nm and no problems, streching or marking. D1 spec where a LOT cheaper.....

Don't suppose you could tell me if they come supplied with the internal drive tool or do you have to buy it separately?

Thx
