The importance of having strong nuts :D
could not resist the title
 But, yes, a bit of a warning about cheap lightweight aluminium lug nuts... Don't overtighten them:  On the left, a normally tightened one, on the right, one which was tightened with herculean might... On the side where I had the accident, so I don't know WTF the body shop used to tighten them. Went for a wheel balancing and rotation yesterday and we noticed this... Lucky my wheels did not fall off!
