Ahhh, bummer. I stripped one of the nuts that I bought in the first set I had (Ultralite), in that case because it wasn't on quite straight.

with wheel nuts what my mate does is get old nut put a very small amount of copper gease on each stud,

So round and do each stud with old nut, then clean grease off.

Just puts a very very small layer of grease on.

But i never bothered

BHP, TORQUE, UNDER STEER, OVERSTEER FOR DUMMYS
BHP- how fast you hit the wall, TORQUE- how far you push the wall
OVER STEER- Dont see the wall, UNDER STEER- You do see it
