Sup guys/girls, need your opinion on lug nuts. Looking to get a set on from the vendor classifieds. Really just need opinion on color, I was thinking either black or the titanium looking ones to match my exhaust. Let me know what you guys think, thanks. Oh and the reason I'm looking to get a set is because my 2 oem wheel locks broke up front so I'm planning on just replacing all 20.


^ That's the car to give you an idea..

 

I think the titanium would look good with you OE wheels. Your studs, lugs and rotors will last longer if you make sure your wheels are installed with a torq wrench rather than an impact gun!

My opinion is you should use some.

 

titanium nuts are good.

 

Sounds good, ordering them up now.

 

post pics of your nuts when you get them

 

i say neo chrome

 

I was actually confusing titanium and neo chrome.. I am actually thinking of going with the neo chrome.

 

neo chrome all the way!!!

 

haahahaha


in for pics of your lug nuts though

 

make sure to use lithium grease when you bolt them on, especially aluminum lugs.

 

^ gota grease your nuts before you torque em.

 

i've never done this or heard this before....... i'm pretty sure this is not required for install of lug nuts.........

i'll post up pics of my neo chrome kic r40 lugs and my new axis option wheels as soon as i get em on next week, just keep an eye out for it in the media section

 

I never said it was required.

Aluminum is very soft metal as opposed to your studs. Evertime you spin and/or torque them, they will lose material. Aluminum Lugs are considered to be "consumables" and should be changed every so often anyway. Use lithium grease to help the longevity. Project kics are not aluminum but I would still use lithium grease to prevent corrosion or rust, just like your spark plugs.

 

wait a sec theres aftermarket lug nuts for the oem wheels? i thought only had aftermarket lug nuts for aftermarket wheels (tuner lugs)?
