Default Wheel nuts and China

Now ive bought lots of stuff from china and its all been good stuff, cheap, brake levers, motorbike screens etc, now, we would be daft to think the big companies dont get their stuff made out there, naturally they do !

so, are wheel nuts direct from china any good ?

for example, i found a dearer set of D1 Spec nuts, there is a load at £13, this set is £18

Hmmmm

There's alot of fakes out there.
There was a thread on here a while ago where a chap bought some of those ebay d1 nuts and they sheared off.

If they are cheap then you can bet your bottom dollar they will be sh1te.
