Someone told you wrong.
The threads are identical.

They do have a slightly different thread, not like the comparison between
1.0 and 1.25 but just off enough that it could cause premature wear of the
threads. I am not vouching for this but it's just what I've heard from
others.
I am looking forward to seeing that car with the aluminum/carbon fiber wing
on it!!

> Different thread? Nope, I've got a set of 'em on my car. They work
great. As for the Asian part, I already have Dodge headlights on my car, so
why not add some Asian material too? ... oh, and my adjustable carbon fiber
double level wing comes in the mail tomorrow. ;)
