Rim Screws: Summit Racing or Hardware store?
I'm having a little heartburn over dropping $22.00 (with shipping) at Summit for some screws. I'm not a tight-*** that tries to skimp on every little part...but I don't like thowing $$ away either. Is there something special about them to justify the price or will a nice grade 8 screw from the local hardware store give the same results?

My goofy wife bought some screws for her license plate holder without asking me.(I have drawers full of every screw ever made) When she gave me one to give her a nut driver to fit it, it was the exact same screw. It was silver instead of anodized, but who cares. I have to use beadlocks, but I would not buy one of those kits ever again. I would not give it a second thought, especially if you use them correctly. Just my 2 cents.
