I've had a couple of these go tight when a bit of dirt damaged the anodising. Not very keen and have reverted to steel nuts.

Heard they wear out quickly if you remove the wheels alot, no point in them IMHO.

they look like they have been over-tightened...............

as for taking the wheels on and off a lot, we have been using alloy nuts on competing cars for 10yrs or so and never had any issues
