Black Lugz nuts, where?

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » January 9th, 2007, 3:34 am

Does anyone know where to get cheap black lug nuts from? I do not want or belive in spending more then $30 for them. I have been buying AZ's nuts for .89 cents each year, But this year I want to have black ones...

Show me some links, thanks!

I have been using .89 cent lug nuts for years, never a problem!
Cheap ones work fine.

I have set of black lug nutz made by Gorilla. I used them when I had the Rota slips.

This type w/ key:

M12x1.5:

I'd prefer no locking things that I can loose the key, Just standard lugs...

Here's an idea, but haven't tried it myself for lug nuts. Take those 89 cent lugs, rough them up with sandpaper, then soak them in Gun Blueing. Click on Gun blueing, then metal finishing, then scroll down and check out the "Super Blue" We've refinished several guns with it and it actually comes out black. The only maintence on them would be to wipe them with a rag sprayed with WD-40 or Silicone to help prevent rusting. The Bluing is fairly cheap and you can find it at any hunting/shooting supply store, even Dicks. Plus it should hold up much better to the forces of sockets vs painting them. Just a cheap idea to try if you want.

Slight thread-jacking

- Which brand of lug nuts would be best for security of your wheels? i.e. every other wheel thief doesn't have a key or some other tool all ready for it.

well there is a tool (socket) that even local tire shops have to take off lugnuts that are stripped, or custom lugs where customers forgot their keys...so it really doesnt matter which brand you get...

Ya wouldn't matter you can buy a lock set that comes with like 148 different keys for the locks.
