Aftermarket Lug nuts

[labeledsk8r]

kinda wanted to see peoples input on some aftermarket lug nuts, im kinda in the market as i dont feel like useing oems on the rims (no locking nut can be bad) i know a few people on here have rays but i cant drop 150 on a set, and the 20 buck packs at autozone are full junk. so anyone have any mid priced lugs to recomend

[ghettogeddy]

i have the 20 buck autozones and i havent had a prob with them

i do have the tuner lugs the with the spline key

those things are lighter then a quarter in your hand lol

but i think there quite expensive

^^^ Yup, I bought some T1R aluminum lug nuts, they were something like $25 for 4, they are super lightweight... But strip very very easily if you are not careful, or if you get a nick in a stud thread. I had this happen and my friend destroyed 2 lugs trying to get them on..

I would look into something like Muteki lugs, supposed to be good, and quite reasonable in price.

aluminum lug nuts? :eek: you know theres a reason aluminum wheels have steel seats pressed in. the four studs and four lug nuts per wheel keep your wheels attached to the car. i just explained this in another thread, the taper on the lug nut has to match the wheel, that contact area is what centers and holds down the rim. i would never trust aluminum for something so critical

[AccordB20A]

stock ones work fine for me

Well what we need next is light weight valve stem caps. Mine are slowing down my car to a crawl.

As lost said, make sure they are the right kind for your wheels. Our stock ones wont work on many aftermarket wheels. I replaced mine with some cheap chrome ones from autozone and the chrome is chipping off. I did get a set of wheel locks that are still looking good. I would have to check and let you know the brand. But overall cheapo chrome stuff is terrible for looks later on.

Porsche's come with aluminum lug nuts stock.

Sk8r, stop by discount tire one day and find out what they would charge. The ones they included when i bought wheels look pretty nice. There's one "locking" lug on each wheel, but really you just need the special socket to get em off.

theyed work for me aswell but id rather sometihng that takes some type of key to remove the lugs, cement bricks dont role very well

Porsche's come with aluminum lug nuts stock.the ones on the porsche are probably just a little higher quality then aftermarket ones.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^^ The t1r lugs are great quality too, and I would have gotten cheaper ones, but thats all I could find that day that I was having my wheels put on, and I'm really impatient.
