The Avid Triad 17mm Light Weight Wheel Nuts are the lightest 8th scale wheel nuts on the market (0.96g/ea). The unique Triad design utilizes only three corners of the nut instead of 6 to give the nut it's light weight while also protecting the laser etched Avid "A's" from being worn off like popular closed nuts. But don't think this takes away from the torque handling capabilities. With a quality wheel wrench you can crank these puppies down and the serrations will add the confidence you need for keeping them on.
