Stock lugs on aftermarket wheels?

When do you need new ones? I bought some 17x9's with a 43 offset I used the stock lugs and they seem fine I rather not take any chances. Thoughts?

 

you can, but the contact area isn't the greatest

 

I think you should show us the damn wheels already

 

lol I take a pic tonight the ass shot is gonna look good

 

I saw them last night - looked good, you guys are going to like it.

 

Drew did you get the harness bar figured out?

 

yeah, it's a tight fit, though...Seems like the bolts are barely long enough. I have everything apart and ready to go, but I couldn't get it in by myself last night. I'll get some help and have it put in tonight, shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. BTW, did you have to keep your shoulder adjustment all the way down? Looks like the top bolts are going to have to be on the bottom of it.

 

Yeah you have to keep the shoulder adjustments all the way down my bad I ment to tell you that. I can really tell thats the bar is missing already but wider wheels make up for it.

 

So, how was sleeping on the couch last night?

 

i would get a set of metal mcgard spline drive two piece lug nuts, they are two piece designed so that it will not scratch up your wheel and they are come in black to match darker wheel color (or skin color for that matter :keke

not too expensive either compared to JDM bling

Not too expensive? That's $125 for all four wheels, fuck that...call me jewish, but damn...

 

Yeah Im not gonna lie she was pretty pissed off about the wheels but she has gotten over it

 

JEWish but I'm Chinese, so we aren't too far apart in terms of cheapness lol

they are $80 bucks, so that comes out to be around $4 bucks per unit for two piece lug nut, not too bad compared to $300 project kics

Make sure to get the set without wheel locks, the lug nut itself already requires a special tool and the locks are usually the weak ones that potentially can break
$80

 

Here is another option.

Where are the pics of the new wheels?

 

I should be able to snap some quick ones today my dad is coming in to town tomorrow and Ive been running around like crazy

 

DAMMN!! I should have known someone on this board was gonna grab those. I saw them posted on craigslist and didn't react quickly enough! Hate you all! lol

 

you guys actually like those volks aluminum lug nuts? They keep loosening up on my friends car, we lost a couple too, even though they were tightened with torque wrench then recheck after ~150 miles or so

so i think they are POS with a cool logo on it lol

 

Russell has/had them on his car, and as far as I know, never had any issues with them loosening up.

 

I missed out on those Im going to order the McGards tomorrow. Ped I got you message from yesterday a few minutes ago I love Sprint :rofl:

 

I'm still not seeing any pics…

 

Nice...What % tint it that?
