alright, i ordered these probably a month or so ago with some $ my bro gave me for my bday and helping him with some of his car stuff. they came in a set of 20 and i got them in a different thread than stock. the reason for this is that the longer ARP wheel studs i am getting are in this thread. stock is 12mm x 1.50, these are 1/2 x 20.
anyways, they are SUPER light. i was amazed at how light they actually were. i can't wait to be able to order the studs, and get some spacers on the car with my 17s back on..
anyway, here they are. nothing special just anodized black and a TON lighter than stock lugs. for w/e reason they are dark in the pictures. but the lugnuts have a straight thru hole so if my studs are too long, they will have room to keep on threading.
EDIT: not like its a huge deal, but i took some weights of lug nuts.. my stock ones were about 1.5 oz per nut, my nice McGard ones were about 1.25 oz per nut, the new lug nuts are about .5 oz per nut. so for every three of these lug nuts, it weighs about as much as one stock nut. so overall weight loss for each wheel is 4 ounces. for the whole car its 1 pound less.

Thats not bad at all. Don't worry about looking them up cause I'm not sure what size they are. They're like a tube shape with the middle open. Thats all I could get to fit on the wheels with how they are made they dont give much room for wide lug nuts.

send them back anyway, they fade within a year to a brass color. if you're ok with that then keep them, but know that they will. they are wicked light however.
