Lug nuts. Any good deals?
Have you had success with a reasonably priced set of aftermarket set of lug nuts?
My summer wheels went on this weekend and those lug nuts are looking not so hot and aren't going on so smooth. |
|
Put caps on them. I have a set of these and they will not fall off. They look much better then the lug bolt too.
|
By the way, these are good to have in the frunk. They come in plastic. I have the metal one.
A hockey puck will work but these have the peg so you're in the right spot every time. |
I got this set. The quality seem great. 1998 Porsche Boxster Base H6 2.5L Wheels Bolts, Studs, & Nuts - PS19D28MWZNKT - Black Stock-Length Lug Bolts - Set Of 20 - ES#2598487
|
I also got mine from ecstuning. They seem to have reasonable prices.

I'd like to find a reasonably priced set in stainless or titanium. I'd settle for satin-finish chrome. |

didn't work out too well. Kind of a hassle to keep clean. I'd like to see a Ti color Krylon spray I could just hit the OEM lugs with. |
clean the old lugs with a wire wheel, apply a coat of spray paint to the caps and them apply a dab of grease to the threads of the bolts. quick easy fix for all of your problems. at 85ft/lbs of torque the will not come loose unless you take them off! there is no need to purchase a new set, they will only corrode like the old ones. by the way, the paint will come off after a while. all you need to do is simply repeat the process above. the can of spray paint will last longer than the car will. to me a $5.00 solution to replacing the lugs which will generally run about 10x more. just my $0.02
