How does drilling the lug nuts affect the strength of the nut ?
I would worry that it may split over time.

I'm very impressed with the simplicity of it all, but just had to ask.
Cd, I'll try a reply, as my truck has lug bolts, not caps. As I recall, when you drill a bolt, it still retains about 90% of its strength...with less weight?! This is part of my thoughts for my wheels. My truck has 20" alloys, and I have only found 20" pizza pans. I've tried some 20.5" corroplast, but only used adhesive backed velcro to hold them on my wheels. I keep losing the left front wheel cover. They (2 so far) are somewhere between here and Oklahoma City.
