i don't see a problem with that. the hub should be solidly seated at that point and most likely won't move if just a single lug is removed. i would double check them after a little driving just to be sure, but you should be fine.

are you getting rid of or adding wheel locks?

Just switching out the old paint chipped ones for some Ti lugs. Nothing special. I figured if I sell my other Rota wheels, the lugs can go with them.

The one issue I have run into with Ti lug nuts is, if your changing wheels all the time, when they are hot they are a ***** to get on and off. I believe it's the two metals not reacting the same to heat.

Luckily I don't change them all the time. I can see your point.

Some good footage taken from the FLD's. When I raced the Tempest, the screaming in the background was apparently everyone being unanimously surprised that I kept up and almost beat him...damn third gear. Enjoy
