Aftermarket Lugnuts

[RyanT]

i had my after market lugnuts on my stock wheels for the winter.. and the crap wheels made one lugnut fall off. i cant find a place to get them online.. anyone know a place where they sell them> I think you know what i mean by aftermarket. my wheelset is Enkie and they go inside the wheel. So a round smooth lugnut that is twisted from the inside. Any help is appreciated.. thanks-ryan

You can buy them locally. A shop that sells/installs Enkie wheels will be able to get you some. The good news is Enkie finally did away with the "Enkie specific" shank lug nut design. Any tuner style lug nut set will work

make sure from now on to re-tourque your lugs after 500 miles of driving with changed wheels. the wheel "settles" and the nuts become loose.

whatever you do, don't get them cheap lug nuts or they might strip and you will have hell of a time getting them off.

[RyanT]

yea the only reason it fell off cuz one of my stock crap rim was bent so it kinda loosed it's way off.. you guys dont know any place online..? the shop around here closes at 3 and i cant get there then

hey I just got some 16 inch wheels... the stock won't fit for sure

where do I buy them locally? and I am really concerned with them stripping like it happened to me once

is 12x1.25 the correct pattern for s13's wheel stud?

^most online wheels shops (cough:tirerack:cough) will sell "tuner" lugnuts. you can get them for pretty cheap. or, you can go for the titanium and lightweight ones (which is a waste of money in my opinion) for like $100 a set

[Fenvy]

well... is 12x1.25 the correct size?

I am not looking for titanium.... I am looking for harden steel ones and most of the local shop sells no name brands for pretty cheap... except that they are made out of aluninum and they stripped.

I had them on my old accord and at least 10 of them stripped when I tried to remove them... needless to say I paid a visit to the shop to get them off.

how does this look? they are made by gorilla and advertised to be made from hardened steel



they are 12mm x 1.25

[SmithSR]

12x 1.25 is correct, and those pictured will work fine.

That's exactly what mine look like

Had some dealer work done once and they "lost" one, I was able to get a "matching" one from the local tire place for free, I tipped the guy $5 for the courtesy and when I went back and let the dealer know I found one, he said "what's the damage?". I said they gave it to me, but I tossed the guy that put it on $5, he reached in his pocket and only had a $10, so he gave me that. Gorrila's, tipping and dealer are all good.
