i just got some TE37s, havent put em on yet. but anyway i need to get some lug nuts and im wondering what ones are good to use with the te37's cuz i dont want to mess them up in any way.

im getting extended wheel studs so i will need open end lug nuts too.

im looking at blox and skunk2.

so let me know.
thanks

 

I would get Project Kicks R26 lugs. We sell them here at a JLB. If you're using expensive wheels like the Volk TE37, you'll want a nice lug nut to protect them.

The R26 has a free spinning shaft that prevents the wheel from being scratched when tightening the lug nuts down.

We have these available in the very popular Neo Chrome finish too.

alright thanks those are my favorite lug nuts but there out of my price range as of right now, spent all my money on the wheels..

 

dustin's your man for any wheel & tire needs for sure!

 

as long as they are tuner lugs it doesn't matter. If you want looks, it depends how much $$ you've got. There are lugs that go up to $750 for a set. Rays and Kics are the above average ones that go for 100 to 200. And then there are some regular tuner lugs that will run you around 50 dollars.

 

Why would you not use Rays lugs on Rays wheels?

Gotcha. Why the need for extended lugs?

 

i guess i dont NEED them i just want them.

but my buddy has black rays lug nuts and they are begining to strip so i dont really wanna pay 140$ for that to happen.

 

I also sell a lug nut by Gorilla that is light weight Aluminium, strong, good finish, and extended / open ended. We've found that the finish lasts better than Rays Lugs / Buddy Club, etc. They cost less than Rays, Buddy Club, Skunk2 as well.

The Gorilla lug nut comes in black, silver, red, and blue:

Yuck. I've never had a problem with my Rays lugs on my TE's

 

rays lugs

 

Rays lugs honestly SUCK!

EVERY red set turns PINK! They lose color like anything and get damaged very easily.

Kics are by far better than rays. They get torqued from further away from the wheels so the wheels don't get damaged. Rays extended lugs can STILL damage the wheels...

Which wheels get damaged first? You decide...

Kics 40


Rays

 

well... ive had my Rays on my Gab-a-like's for 1 1/2 yr and havent messed up yet on the paint or rim! it all depends if you get sloppy!

I NEVER use an impact gun on my lugs.

 

ok.. so you've Rays... have you used Kics?
You need to use more than one to compare ofcourse.
Anyone who knows about wheels and lugs will tell you that Rays are crap.
Have you seen what happens to Red Rays lugs?
Ask anyone who's running 'em... they'll tell you that they go pink!

Any anodized part exposed to sunlight will fade, it's a simple fact.

If you don't want to deal with fading colors, don't buy an anodized colored lug.

 

thats what i'm trying to say... they fade. thus kics kick ***

I've used both (and I sell both), and I agree. The Kics are better in every single way.

how much for a set of the gorilla black extended lugs?

 

If the wheels are going to be used for racing, I would suggest a steel lug nut
