So yea,

I have ARP extended studs, so im needing to buy some open end lug nuts.

I know the best nuts are kicks, work emotions and rays, but im NOT looking to spend that mutch.

Basically I needed help from people experiences with these lug nuts. Im needing help on deciding which to buy...


Here is my options I think:

Blox, they looks nice, open ended 68.00 shipped

I think Skunk 2 is about my price rang too for like 80.00

anyway, them are the nuts im looking at, and I need help on the color, I have Bronze supamesh wheels and the car will be Sonic Metallic Blue pearl ( the engine bay is alredy painted this color)
And the fronts have ARP extended studs...

Help me out, Suggesttions !

 

Add Buddy Club nuts to the list, but they're aluminum like the Rays and lots of others. I wouldn't screw around with aluminum nuts at all unless you carry a torque wrench under your seat and no mechanic ever touches your lugs. I have a few friends whos aluminum nuts got toasted by the guys at the tire store.

 

I didnt see buddy club, where are they sold? I dont see myself spending more than 70 bux on lugs....

Wonder what the torque rating is on these.

 

Aluminum nuts will handle factory torque specs just fine, though they might get worn out and hard to thread on and off after a few years of doing it. The only problem concerning torquing them is when somebody else does it--like the tire store when you get your new tires mounted. Those guys, whether at Tire Discounters or the dealership, have a habit of running the nuts on with an impact. If they do that "right" you'll probably end up with 100 ft-lbs more than stock, which works fine for steel nuts. But not aluminum.

EDIT: Buddy club does make steel nuts. There's all sorts of places that sell stuff. Evasive has a huge selection.

 

Evasive has ALL the lug nuts !!!!!

so What color should I order ? Im thinking Blox in blue, or Trust

 

This sounds more like an Appearance thread than a Tech thread. How exactly are Work or Rays lug nuts "better" than others, besides being better at emptying your wallet?

 

Right, im not looking to spend that much on them, I think I may get the Blox ones in blue ?

 

What lugs would you put on these http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...eb22009083.jpg

No critasism needed, thanx

 

Blox, Trust, Muteki ?

 

some black ones.

cheap, and made of steel. not some weak@$$ aluminum joints. Don't want my lug nuts breaking or wheels flying off.
