    ive seen them. as far as i know they are heavyer than the welds. also they use a standard type lug nut that sits inside a hole in the face of the wheel. i dont like the look that that creates but that is easyer to deal with than the shank lugnuts used on the welds.

    i dont think that the acorn style lug nut will cause a problem over time. after all at least 95% of the cars on the road use them.

    I feel that wheels are a safty idem and that you get what you pay for. If your having doubts then you have answered your self.
