What lugnuts should I buy???????????? The stock lugs on the car are starting to go to crap from being taken off so much, the lock key is stripping the locking lug..and the others are starting round of from taking them off so much with the breaker bar...the rims in the back are pretty deep so thats the only thing I got that will take them off easily...
Any suggestions on what I should buy for all around lug nuts for the car...and does anyone have prices??
I also need a set of good screws to bolt the et streets to the rim?? Any suggestions?

Re: What lugnuts should I buy???????????? If you take the lug nuts on and off frequently, I would recommend using grease on the inside of the lugs to make tightening and loosening much easier on your wheel and stubs. This is what I do on all of my cars and I have never had any questions going this route. Also used on my SS street/drag car.

Re: What lugnuts should I buy???????????? Thats not a bad idea at all...
I can still use the lugs how they are now, but I need a new lug wrech first... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Most of the lug nuts are starting to round off...
Any ideas on what I should do for a new set?

Re: What lugnuts should I buy???????????? Autozone sells direct replacement lugnuts. Just take and old one in for reference and tell them the year of your car. I believe the lug nuts are 19mm.

Re: What lugnuts should I buy???????????? If you want a lil more bling bling, you can get some chrome Gorilla locks. All 20 lug nuts require the key. Kinda nice as a safety feature, just don't lose the key socket. Plus, you can tell everyone that you're flexin' a set of Gorilla Nuts (tm). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I got them from LG for $40 for the set a few years back.
