In July, 2024 I replaced the factory lug nuts with fancy chrome ones.
A trip to Daytona in August convinced me there was something wrong with them because the car was shaking violently at interstate speeds.
I commented to Harvey that something was definitely wrong, maybe tires...
Changing the lug nuts back to the factory version seemed to fix much of the problem.
I discovered that by rotating a wheel by a lug would cause the vibration to lessen significantly.
Knowing I had two tires out of round, that meant I'd managed to get them in phase with each other.
Well, new tires has eliminated the vibration, so I decided to see if the chrome lug nuts would change anything for the worse.
Please excuse the brake dust, I'm doing an experiment with the pads.
A quick jaunt, with The Boy, proves the lug nuts had nothing to do with the vibration two years ago!
Huzzah!
