25 Wheel changes in a year

[Rusoman]

That's how many wheel changes I'm planning to do to my car cause I'm planning to go to maximum of eight track days and maximum 15 autocross events, assuming my 200 thread wear tire will last that long. I need to change wheels because I use my car for delivery too.

Is it possible? Is that too much? Can I wear out my wheel studs or any parts by doing that?

No. Use a torque wrench and you'll be fine.

Are there any techniques you would recommend to make it easier? I'm planning to get a cordless gun too.

I use it to remove wheels nut, never to tightened them. I always use torque wrench

You could use a torque extension stick with your cordless gun, sold at Princess Auto or Canadian Tire

My tip to you would be to get very durable lug nuts with a durable finish or else they will look like crap after all that changing.

Great tools, firs time I see that.

What if I don't use the full force of the gun? Just halfway on the trigger.

I hope I could buy just the 80 ft lbs stick, they look expensive.

Where can I get some durable lug nuts?

Good! Thanks a lot! I thought it's impossible to find just one stick.

I have a set of those, they work well. You have to use your cordless gun at max torque, it won't over torque with these tools.
Check at Princess Auto, this is the place I bought mine.

I agree about the lugnuts. I have a $60 set and after one change they look like junk.

You can buy 20 lugnuts at Costco for under $15 (CDN)

Do I still need to use the torque wrench if I'm using a torque stick anyway?

No, they are calibrated for the torque stamped on them
