JConcepts Fin style serrated 17mm wheel nuts

Coming from JConcepts are the Fin styled serrated 17mm wheel nuts for 1/8th scale off-road vehicles and GT cars. These high-precision wheel nuts are flanged and knurled for locking security and feature a closed end to protect from dirt and debris build-up in the axle or hub. Completely CNC-machined, the large flange and clamping surface area supports the wheel and helps maintain geometry during flex and load. The larger area also provides more footing for the serrated area which provides a more comfortable lock-down. Cutting weight was accomplished by reducing material sections in unneeded areas, in addition, the nut is sliced removing even more bulk and adding a “Fin” like appearance. The wheel nuts come in sets of four and in blue or black colour.
