Local shops - Red lug nuts?

**JeffEmbracedDC** · 06-26-2009 10:56 PM

Hey, guys.

If anyone knows of a shop that keeps red lug nuts in stock let me know!

I'm trying to find a local (Tampa bay based) shop that carries them. Most places can order them in but I would like them for this week end. I've tried a number of auto shops (advance, car quest) and some performance/custom shops (gearhead, auto styles, etc) and cannot seem to find any.

Thanks, guys.

I know autozone has red anodized ones, also I would try automotive engineering on ulmerton and 19.

Thanks for the tips. No luck

I checked a number of autozones and both locations of gearhead performance. Oh well.

If they dont need to be fancy and anodized, Im sure a simple rattle can job will suffice..

The blue ones are much better, good for 20 rwhp. The red are only good for 15.

^Do they increase downforce?

If the color fades, once the lugs are torqued down by hand, you might carefully tape around them and spray paint them. That will cover any
scratches acquired during installation.-Bob

Autozone seems to only carry blue. I've gone to at least 3-4 locations and they all have blue and no red. They also say they can't special order them. It's no big deal. There was a meet last week end that I wanted them for so at this point I can get them online at any time.

I appreciate the info, guys. I'll just grab some online at some point. Later!

I very possibly may have if my threads were 12m x 1.25.. though mine are x 1.50

There's a particular set I'm looking at on ebay...

Obviously in red.. $80 shipped NIP.

**5thgen_er** · 07-01-2009 05:55 AM

Not Bad^

**Orion ZyGarian** · 07-01-2009 08:09 PM

Yes, I agree. For $80, that sounds like a deal. Not a good deal, but a deal nonetheless.
