anyone modded their lug nuts?

[wekilled]

Still not sure if I want to take the plunge or not-still not sold on the idea fully. Just tossing it around, but that certainly steers me in the right direction. If I do it I plan on doing every lug on the rim. It would go with the overall theme on my VX-I have a wraparound grille, nerfs, and alot of other beefy parts. I would like to get different rims eventually (black and brushed moto-metal) but these might look good with those as well.

You should probably wait till you have the new rims then. Like Ldub said, lug nuts are fairly standard with only a few variations available ... but ... some aftermarket rims may require ones different from the ones that work with the OEM rims.

Good call. Didnt think that through. Probably saved me re-purchasing lug nuts.

Well, I went ahead and picked up a set of the 12mm lug nuts and then a pack of the locking nuts from Corvetteguys. They are subtle and not so cartoony like I was worried they were going to be.

Anyway, I know they arent for everyone, but they fit the look I am going for.

That would be ... phallic symbol???

JK - they actually look nice.

Sure, that works too-sex & violence, the condiments of life.

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

they are not right thread, just in case you didn't notice unless you are just talking about the style.

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
