Is this lug nut safe?
Brought my car in to the dealership for an oil change since I purchased the maintenance package. The rep called me and asked me to bring in the OEM lug nuts saying that the Muteki lug nuts I had on there were unsafe. He said that they did not utilize enough thread on the stud. I'd rather err on the side of caution than not. Do you guys think these lug nuts are unsafe? Here is a link to the lug nuts:
