Anyone know of a local shop who might sell them ? I have checked the shop forums and called a few. No-one carries them . I was looking to purchase and pick up rather than order and wait. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I just saw these in the classifieds. I am not trying to pick on you or anything, but what makes these lug nuts so special that they sell for over $100.

Is this one of those JDM fads? Are they lightweight and people are that desperate to shed a few grams of weight?

^ they actually come with a hooker who drops to her knees at the sound of a snapping finger. kinda neat if you ask me.

 

Kaluwa told me to stay away from them. I don't remember why though.

 

Yeah I've had a bad experience with Work lugs and I've heard the same from other people too. The aluminum threads on the lugs strip off very easily, and end up messing up the wheel studs. I had to use a tap and dye to clean off the aluminum that became embedded in SIX of my wheels studs. Always torqued them to 80lbs so it's not from over torquing.

You can see the threads stripped flat in this pic that I took when I replaced them with Rays lugs.

 

How about these black Mutekis for $35?
