Yeh, but I would never buy an ARC exhaust (plus they don't offer it anymore).

You'd think for that kinda coin they'd be locking.

Not that I think anybody would notice lugs and want to steal them, but then we come back to why would anybody spend $500 on them?

That has to be the dumbest thing I have read to date. I can understand $500 lug nuts, but your comparing ARC, one of the highest quality manufactures in the world, to Ebay garbage.

It's obvious alot of you guy have little to no understanding of QUALITY parts. Do you know the cost of Titanium, which these lug nuts and the ARC exhaust is made out of ? Do you know what it takes to weld Ti? Or even to form Ti?

Ebay's products/prices just ruins the market and scene. That is why you see a lot of reputable company go out of business and a bunch of whack cars on the street.

your taking what he said out of context, hes merely comparing cheap lug nuts to expensive ones and expensive parts to ebay parts. its quite a good comparison, my oem z-tube does the same thing an arc ztube would, and those lugs will do the same as reg lugs, besides save a couple ounces of weight. the cost far outweighs the quality regardless. i would compare buying these lug nuts to buying something like, a casio watch with a diamond bezel, yea its different, but its retarded and impractical. also, with these lugs imagine the amount of skill it would take to get these on without the socket scratching off any of the burnt surface..i have the arc ti shift **** and my pinky ring scratched it without much pressure..

for a daily driven car these are impractical, dont you agree? like i said if the burnt finish is anything like my arc **** it would come off very easily with even the use of hand tools. I have never held them or touched those, they look impressive. But its clear that you have a show car, in which case, every bit counts

I DD my car until snow falls. Everyone has different opinions about what "expensive" is.
