Hey guys I noticed that no one has posted up how to know if you are going to buy fake Rays engineering lug nuts. So im just going to post this up just so no one gets ripped off around here.

This is good to know if for no other reason than safety. I can't believe these knockoff companies and what they will do. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah I couldn't imagine someone buying a set of fakes and then them breaking during a drive causing them to get in an accedent.

From what I've been told its very hard to tell the difference in packaging (if you don't know what your looking for that is).

Did you return the fake ones?
If you did what did the seller say?

Thats messed up, but I love the name... dura-nuts. I need me some of those. lol

Has there been any reports of failures from these particular replica lug nuts? I can't see them being a huge variable as far as durability is concerned.

I am however, against the use of anything but steel lug nuts as there are reports of other brands of aluminum and titanium lug nuts sheering.

then how about WORKS lug nuts? how do we spot whether its fake or not?

Kami Speed Apr 9, 2014 06:33 PM

best advice is to purchase from authorized dealers, its hard to spot fakes from pictures as they could be doctored or pictures of the authentic ones

jeremy52048 Jun 10, 2014 09:40 PM

found these again on AMAZON
