Some of you may know that i just purchased a set of repro fuch rims. I looked at how much the lug nuts(im putting studs in the rotors) are for these rims are and it turns out that its like 6 bucks a lug nut. thats 120 dollars for all the lugs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . Why are they so expensive and can i find them anywhere cheaper? I noticed that the lugs have a rounded bottom to mate up with the rim correctly, is that why that are a more expensive?
Ive checked autozone, etc, and all they have are acorn style, tapered edge, which i don't think will work. I don't mind buying these lug nuts, but if theres a cheaper alternative, im game for that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I don't know what lug nuts you are specifically looking to buy or from who but stock Aluminum alloy lug nut anodized black and machined to properly fit the wheel are not cheap. There are stock steel lug nuts availble for a less money. You should not use the 'accorn' nuts commonly used by other wheel manufactures, they will damage your wheel and are not safe. I check a website I order part thru and the list these at $10 each Pelican Parts is less and has steel lugs listed at $1.50 each. Jim |
