Any interest in lug nuts? I can get muteki lug nuts examples

I can also get regular spline ones.

Pricing will be around $90 shipped for the neochrome ones and $70 Shipped for the other colors.
Regular spline ones should be much cheaper, around $40
I will get actual pricing if there is interest. I will get actual pics of the lug nuts when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow.

I have to ask - what would these lug nuts bring to the table, performance wise?

Are they lighter weight? Better thread interaction for steadier clamping? More resistant to stripping the threads?

They weigh about half of what the stockers do, and look much better than stock.

Truthfully all i know is that they are a tad lighter.

Copied form some sale adds but I am not sure how true it all it

As long as they provide security, as in, someone can't just drive up with a 17mm socket + jack and pull off my wheels, AND they are made of something that doesn't rust like the ones I have now, it's on like Donkey Kong.

I've been looking for something like this for a long damn time.

Actually, I don't give a damn if you get enough interest for a GB, either. If they match my requirements, I'm buying a set.

The ones pictured I think you can use a 19 but as i said I can get spline ones for cheaper.

Because they are smaller and the older model. For the spline there are closed and open ends. I will get pics later when I go by the shop. I will also try and get pricing.

:momaru:

haha. What else do you guys want?? I am looking into a Coilover GB next

As for pricing. Spline is $35 shipped and if we can get over 10 people price will dropped to $32 shipped. Get even more people and I bet I can talk them down. As for the other ones it will be $88 shipped for neochrome and $55 shipped for the regular ones. Price will be dropped on those as well if we get enough people. I will get exact pricing when we actually get close to enough people. Pics of the spline will be up in a few min.
