Loose lugs
Anyone else have a problem with their lugs loosening after being on the track? My lugs loosened three times this weekend after 1/2 hour track sessions. I had the things torqued to 85, 88 and 90 lb.ft. Someone at the track mentioned that Minis had a problem with this when they get hot but this was the first I heard of it. What is the fix?

Which wheels? I have heard of this happening with the painted Kosei TS wheels. I've had no problems with my stock MINI 5-spoke wheels.
Oh yeah, the fix for the Koseis is to remove the paint from the area where the lugs sit.

It happened with a new set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's. The piece of crap plastic hub rings that Outmotoring.com sent me also broke. Why in the world would they send me plastic hub rings with "race" wheels?
