Where did you get those? Did they come tinted or did you do that yourself?

The big tire chains use torque sticks (and usually at least a size smaller than rated) because 1) they are wildly inaccurate, and 2) it's really easy to greatly over torque lugs with an impact wrench (even w/the torque sticks--blip it a second too long and it's over torqued--gotta start over). They always finish to spec with an actual torque wrench.
Kinda wonder how many claims/lawsuits they had to field before making their policy to err so much on the side of safety...
If "pretty close" was good enough, safe enough, they wouldn't bother.

I agree... torque sticks are not the answer.

I watch techs tighten lug nuts with an impact and then check with a torque wrench that only clicks; the shaft of the torque wrench does not rotate at all. So there's no way to know.

If the torque wrench shaft does not turn before the click, then they are all OVER-TORQUED.

I've seen way too many rotors warped from Impact Wrenches.

The LED side markers look great. The black lug nots not so much for me.
