Default Lug nuts to fit race stars?

So I just bought some race star wheels and lugs, but I have been reading around that the lugs that come with them strip out easy and are made of a soft metal. So me question is where can I get some lug nuts that will fit my race stars?

They are the same as Weld Prostars. You need a 1.375" long shank, and the correct washers to locate them. I have them both in stock if needed, pm me for prices.

Gonna bump this instead of making a new thread...what are some good lugs that DON'T rust? The stock Racestar ones I have are rusting and it looks terrible. Can anyone recommend a good set + washers that WILL NOT RUST? 1/2" studs.

I have seen that Summit has the bang for the buck lugnuts for racestars but apparently thats as far as I know the only place that has them. People have tried different lug nuts, but they end up being too short or too long and in some cases they brake easily. Sure sucks that they rust out quick but im guessing the only solution is to keep buying them after each pair that rusts

I don't really care about paying for lugs. I paid $70 for my street wheel lugs I believe (pack of 20, but I only use 10). I just don't want them to rust...the washers on Mikes site are Zinc and will definitely rust.

I have McGuard and they haven't rusted. I hear McGuard are some of the best.

Looks like they may have what I need. Do you use them with Racestars?

http://www.mcgard.com/automotive-2/l...gory_pathway=0

Just not sure what washers I would need.


EDIT: Racestars on SK Speed website say this:
Dimensions are: 1.224" diameter - .695" center hole. Sold individually.

http://www.mcgard.com/automotive-2/l...gory_pathway=0 --- Those are the same dimensions, so I think that those will work!


Amazon only had 2 of the 63000, so I ordered a 63004 and the washers as well...I'll wait on fronts until those start rusting. Lol.

Yes, I use them with race stars. You will need the hub centric rings if you don't have them.

McGards are fantastic and if they ever rust, they will replace them for you.

Do I need to get lug nuts that fit tightly in the holes for RaceStar Drag stars? Or is it enough to center wheels with hub-centric ring?
