    Said it before, & I'll say it again...NICE NUTS!...

    Perfect for running over the undead after the zombie apocalypse. I do wish they had a set of "bigger" nuts that were more like spikes. Mine are a little too small.

    Closer in size to the hubs. That, and I wanted an opportunity to use the aforementioned phrase.

    You get nuts that big & you'll need a commensurately large tool for removal

    ... wait, that didn't sound quite right

    You'll need a really deep socket

    ... still sounds dirty

    You'll need special tooling for maintenance

    Okay, going to the Blackjack GEAR rims. anyone know if these might work? i like the spike vs. bullet look as well as the length and the fact they are black. For everyones info, the CorvetteGuys bullet lugs do show signs of some rust. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321165122...84.m1423.l2649

    anyone ever bought lug nut covers or caps that look similar to that? i have chrome covers on 4 of my 5 on each wheel and i cant find a cover for the other lug - im assuming at one time the other was locking but they are gone and just an ugly rusted lug in its place on each wheel - looked at all the usual parts stores and they act like they dont exist - would like a matching set
