Lugnuts get hot.

Recently got new brakes and some struts installed. And ive noticed that the rotor gets really hot, and as well as the lugnuts.

Is this normal?

friction heats things up. brakes work through friction. yes they will heat up. the lug nuts will heat up due to heat transfer.

friction causes heat, if the rotors are bent it can cause to much heat. can you touch the your lugnuts after driving for some time?
