I'm looking for a nice set, but not something popular where everyone has a key to them.

And do you happen to know the pitch on the studs?

I think some of this has been gone over before bro. I can't remember the #'s.

There's one brand we are supposed to stay away from, Gorilla I think? MC Guard maybe?

I'm getting some forged lightweight ones within the next month or two, let me know if you are interested and I'll get 2 sets sent from Korea.

BTW, I ain't ignorin you bro, I missed you yesterday (final cleaning on my old apartment), I'll hit you up when i get home.

They have all sorts of colors.

And yes, they lock.

I'd get black or a natrual look like Gunmetal or Titanium. Those won't fade in the sun.

If you guys want, I can get them on the site for ya'll.

Can you get pics of all the colors and the weights, and the waye they lock? Any gaurantees from chipping? Open end, or closed?

And I did a search for lug nuts and came up with nothing.

You can probably pick up a full set of any color Gorilla lugs for about $20.00 at your local America's Tire Company/Discount Tire. That's what I did anyways. I picked up a full set of chrome spline drive open ended lugs, including installation for $20.00 at my local America's Tire Company. I have caps on my rims, so I use the open ended ones. But closed ended, black, hyper black, all the same price.

Do you have a link to the Korean site that sells them?

I'm sure we have enough folks who would like these than we can start a GB

I mainly want to know about the warranty. The reason why I said the other threads gave me no help was because people here were recommending theirs even though they were fading in color. That's dumb.

Also, the cheaper aluminum ones may loosen up with the heating and cooling. Or strip easily.

I should be able to get pics of that stuff.

Guarantees? I'm pretty sure they are anodized, so they won't chip. Powdercoated lug nuts would chip or crack really quick.

I belive open end.

Try searching for just lug. It could have been on HA too.



When i get home I'll try to find the pics of the ones they have avaialble.

Still want a gaurantee.

These are popular with Honda-Tech: http://www.racingdimension.com/index.asp?P...PROD&ProdID=198

Honda-Tech is having a GB on 16 lug nuts, including 4 tire stems for $60 shipped. they come in different colors. Love the black ones.
