Me too... both of us are lucky to be able to tell about it still...

My recommendation to anyone is to install longer lugs in the hubs, order the locking lug nuts from RMATV and put wave washers under them. The Tech 3 billet centers are THICK and the lug nut spots are counter sunk too.

I am not sure what happens... rather it is shavings pushed out into the recess when putting them on the lugs or shavings from the edge of the countersink... or if it is soft material wallowing out. But once they start to wiggle on the hub it will walk the nuts right off the lugs.

I think I would feel better about CF1 wheels if I wasn't willing to change the hub studs, lug nuts and add wave washers.

I would like to take a set of CF1's apart to see how they are made in comparison with tech 3's.
