He had the size right, it was the thread that was wrong. When he torqued them on they felt tight and under normal street driving conditions they were fine. But once he put it into the high Gs from autocross they just ripped right off.

Really sucks though, he smashed up a really nice car.[&:]

I hear that he got incorrect size Ray Engeneering lug nuts and they simply popped off
Do you think he could have a case against Ray Engineering??
No, I think he could have a case against the retailer who said that those will fit his car

... wow.... that absolutely blows... I can't imagine how much it's going to take to fix that poor rx7... well, I guess the damage could have been worse, and nobody got hurt.

I love how there is one guy who's just like "We're only missing one, though", completely ignoring the fact that the car is sitting on the ground with no tires and just skidded a few feet.
