Consumer Description

STRIPPED OFF LUG NUTS THAT RETAIN THE TIRES / WHEELS ON THE CAR. THESE SEEM TO BE MADE OF A SOFTER MATERIAL LIKE ALUMINUM. ON MY VEHICLE THEY HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OUT AND RENDERED USELESS. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN HAVE THEM REPLACED. THESE SHOULD BE MADE OF STEEL. THESE ARE OFTEN ON AND OFF THE CAR FOR WHEEL MAINTENANCE AND TIRE REPLACEMENT / ROTATION. YOU SHOULD MAKE THE MANUFACTURERS MAKE THEM OUT OF STEEL, TO BETTER HOLD UP. COULD BE DANGEROUS.
