Thread: Aftermarket lug nuts

Hey guys. I just sent my rims in to be re coated due to some clear coat flaking. I went with gloss black this time as opposed to the anthracite.

I'm looking at picking up some chrome lug nuts as the ones I have are beat. Where do you guys pick out your lugs? I've noticed some pretty cool styles on cars.

The only site I noticed was andysautoparts just not sure which ones will actually fit my car.

Car is an 02 GTP

chrome is the only thing you're looking for?

do you want a locking set? extended or regular? open or closed ended? what's your budget on these?

Locking set would be nice. It doesnt really matter to me. If someone is going to steal black torque stars have at it... Id like a close ended nut. that was the problem with andysauto they were all open ended like the factory ones.

Id like to limit it to 100.00 ish bucks

yeah, if you're running stock wheels...i'd just run the stock lugs.

and i despise spline drive lugs, so i'd never recommend those to anyone.

or buy these sweet work lugs (i know, they're used..): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Work-Wheel-B...-/301127822992

note that i also hate aluminum lug nuts because they strip and corrode to the steel studs.

these ones are awesome, too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-WHEELS-L...4f71ee&vxp=mtr

these are 7 sided so you can't just use a regular socket: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-CHROME-ST...3e70b0&vxp=mtr

The work ones you linked are wicked Bio. I think ill take a stab at them

Thanks for your help. I never considered ebay at all...

12x1.5 is the size of lugnut needed for GP's?

I've never purchased lugs before so bare with me.

i edited that a couple times, might want to take a look now.

i vote for the volk lugs, those are top of the line and if bought new from a vendor would easily be over $100.

I'm still diggin the work ones. 5 hours left too. Will be bidding.

good luck, work makes good product.

Which ones were you talking about? volk?

the work lugs are nice.

the volk lugs are nice, too (i personally like them more).

it's not my car, it's your car. haha.

Yes.

When I got my new wheels the tire shop used these on my car, no problems with them except sheering off a wheel stud but I do that often anyway. Just have to remember to re torque them after 100miles after having the wheel off. The key on these I like more than the ones with like a different hex bit because my moms TA had those and we ended up rounding them off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SET-OF-20-CH...df4caf&vxp=mtr

exactly the reason why i hate spline drive. they suck.
