Made of fine Chinese steel, imported in bulk to Euroland and re-boxed by a
company in France, retailed by a guy in the UK, delivered to a guy in Isle
of Man, who brought them to me here in Florida . . .
Postage from the UK to here would have been $90, and yes, the lug bolts
were in the boxes too.
I suppose I could have gotten aluminum, but most of the weight savings are
from the newer wheels and tires, so I figured I could give a little back
with steel spacers.
I'd be a bit nervous about magnesium lug nuts - magnesium isn't real hard,
and all you need is one monkey-lad with an air wrench while you aren't
looking . . .
