just wondering what kind/ where people bought their lug nuts for their aftermarket rims. I am getting buddy club rims and my old lugs are silver, and the new rims are gunmetal so I am trying to find a quality lug nut that will fit the color.

 

i found several when I looked on ebay, but didn't buy any because I'm a cheap bastard.

 

You're going to have a hard time colour matching wheels with lug nuts. LOL... Most of us don't try.

Whichever ones you buy, make sure you buy the ones with a seating surface designed for your wheel. For example most OEM Honda and Acura lug nuts should not be used with aftermarket wheels, because most alloy wheels require tapered, conical lug nut seats to maximise the seating surface.

Your OEM Honda/Acura lug nuts might appear to work, but you are not getting the correct seating surface just because the wheel didn't fall off in the driveway.

I have three different sets.

Kyukogen: Cheap, but very soft metal. Inconspicuous. Requires a special key to remove and install.

Skunk 2: Extended lug nuts to cover racing studs. Hard, light, sturdy.

Daiyama: Like the Skunk 2, but even lighter, and with a more deeply knurled end to allow easy removal by hand after loosening.

There are lots of good lug nuts available. The most important thing is to make sure the seating surface is correct.

 

Get the buddy club lug nuts. :rick:

 

I think I am actually gonna end up doin that....they are like 70 plus shipping, but they are the same color as my rims, and they are extended.

 

You can get black spline drives from discount tire for about $20.

 

I use McGuard.

 

where did you get them?
