Light weight wheel nuts :blahblah:

Dose anyone know where I can get a set of light weight wheel nuts the one's I have now are just too heavy and are effecting the performance of the car, I have spoken to a few friends from another club that are running these new versions that are over 50% lighter and upgrade the performance by about 10 bhp .

I also think that mine are also and bit bulkily and are effected by a rather large amount of wind resistance and in turn this is affecting the stably of the car.

Please help with this technical question

Matt

I run carbon fibre runs, lightweight, good for another 15bhp, also aerodynamic option available which sorts out the 80mph problem that Alric has....
