So putting on my rims and winter tires, it was $15 per wheel for mount and balance which was fine. Then I forgot to get tuner lugs so I just told them to put them on, the tuner lugs in total were $50 ($2 per lug), did I get ripped in the bum?

The tuner lugs had a special design which needed a key but from what I remember most stores have them for $20-30 for a full set (20 lugs).

 

$50 is not bad at all. think thats bad, try $12 per lug nut at the dealer I work for. and yes, thats for plain regular lug nuts.

 

Yikes, do they sell the regular steel ones, or only the solid gold???

Net.. that sounds about right for the set and the key......If it's the ones I'm thinking of.......

I paid $50 for my lugs and key when I got my wheels put on. I thought it was kind of steep but I was too excited to care. Anyways, it may be a bit on the expensive side but it's pretty much par for the course if you aren't specifically looking for a deal on these.

 

Damn $12 per lug ? That's just rape

 

$2 per lug is the cheap side of tuner lugs. I got a set of Gorilla tuner lugs from Les Schwab at that price with the key.

You didn't get ripped off

 

yup ill confirm thats a pretty decent price... for avg tuner lugs... cheap if you got some namebrand ones :P

and bah... you haven't seen anything about rape until you've owned a 1.8T from VW/Audi.... sparkplug NGK = $42.... EACH

almost fell off my chair talking to the parts guy...

me: so do you guys have spark plugs instock for the 1.8T and if so how much
dealer: yup... they're $42.50 plus tax..
me: 42.50 not bad, thanks
dealer: thats for one...
me :*thud* (me falling off my chair)

actually i eventually was able to get these at jobber pricing... and even then they were about 21 dollars each!!!

NGK platnium tips... for that price the whole d@mn thing should be platnium :P

 

ok thanks guys, i guess they were better then average lug nuts i guess.... just seemed expensive overall $110 just for rim and tire install but they did a good job and heard they have the best machines.....

put on some flower looking rims, pretty gross but they clear the brembos very well

 

i've seen good lugs for anywhere from $120-600 a set, so $50 isn't bad.

couldn't you have used your stock ones though?

 

yea they said I couldn't use the stock ones, I guess I dont' know lugs that well or something, $50 including key seemed expensive as I guess before i only needed 4 per wheel when I had my civic and i used just regular tuner lugs

 

The holes in the alloy wheels are likely way too small to fit the stock lug nuts in. Tuner lug nuts are much slimmer in diameter, which is why they require a special key to remove/install them.

 

my volks can accept standard lugs, though it is a tight fit.

 

rays lugs set me back about $170
