ok, i just got my wheels in and i need lugs. are there any to be avoided? can i pick up some tuner lugs i saw from autozone for 30 bucks without someone telling me a week later that i shouldnt have gotten them? i saw differenst styles of lug keys. does it even matter???

::dons flame retardant suit::

ok, now that i got it out do your worst!

 

are you kidding me???????? j/k. lugs are lugs as long as it fits the hole in your wheels. not a stupid question either.

Whey didnt your wheels come with lug nuts?

 

I saw on a forum a couple weeks ago and i think it was on scion life too, where the guy had autozone tuner lugs and when he tried to loosen one of the lugs the lug itself snapped in half leaving the remaining half still on the stud. After reading this and seeing the pics of the broken lug i'd personally stay away from autozone brand lugs.

 

Just get some Gorillas... you can get them pretty much anywhere.

 

i'm glad i asked. thanks for the responses.

 

Sorry--had to do that!!! A good question--and I think you got a good answer.

 

McGard are what you need to look for.

 

I second Mcgard.

Those cheapo one can rust and seize to your wheels studs...

 

McGard or Gorilla.

these are pretty nice, I use them and like them a lot.

 

ill flame ya .. they are lug nuts. The lugs are what stick out or are referred to as studs.

BTW i kid about flaming ya, at least you had the b_lls to ask. And i too have used the Gorilla lug nuts for a couple of years now. Just dont cross thread them as the tool will crack easily.

 

Damn i better get new ones now! lol
