Had some on mine, lasted a week before i took them off and binned them. Were supposed to be genuine, but several threads chewed and i didnt have any confidence in them, so swapped for a set of steel blue nuts in stead which have been spot on

My opinion for what it's worth... alloy nuts on a road car = increased risk of failure.
Had them on for about 50 miles. Checked them for tightness and found 2 or 3 loose and binned the lot.
Never had a problem with steel nuts.
If you stop and think what you gain by changing to pretty alloy nuts, is it really worth the money, effort, and risk?

i checked mine after a few hundred miles and they were fine but not recommended for people who are slack on car maintenance
