your rim is hot too right? If you use the brakes alot then that is alright but if not then your brakes are not fully disengaging. Do this test Start the car and drive it so you don't have to use the brakes AT ALL. that is some 1 Kilometre or more of driving with NO brakes, see if it heats up, it shouldn't! After a normal granny style driving the brakes shouldn't be that hot either!(unless the driver is "hot" ![bird bird](/forums/images/graemlins/default/bird.gif) ) Amin

i would change the brakes (at least inspect them) ASAP b4 they destroy the bearings.

And the lugnuts are directly onto the bolts which come off the rotors, so it makes sense that they would heat up first, then start to transfer the heat to the rest of the rim.
