Anyone upgraded from the stockers to something else?

I wanted to get some black ones but every where I look all the lugs say recommended for tuner wheels. I know there's a difference between stock "acorn" style and "tuner" style lugs but does any manf make some that we can use on our stock wheels?

 

Acorn type = (_)

Tuner type = \_/

Acorn is rounded like an acorn.



Tuner is angled.

 

Thanks but that doesnt help me at all.

Okay, your stock wheels take Acorn lugnuts(rounded). Most all aftermarket wheels take tuner(angled) type lugnuts. Do not use tuner lugnuts on stock rims and do not use acorn lugnuts on aftermarket rims. The lug nut will not seat properly and will not hold the wheel on like it should.

So, if you want to buy black aftermarket lugnuts, you will have to buy acorn style lugnuts to properly fit your stock wheels. Call McGard or Gorilla they can help you.

 

Why not just paint them?

I knew that much. I was looking to see if anyone had actually done this and could name a brand they used or something.
