Lug Nuts

I've been looking for something inexpensive to buy to add some little touches. I started looking at lug nuts... all the different designs, colors, lengths, materials. If interested, here's a brain dump of my findings.

Some of my criteria:
  • Lightweight
  • Not overly-expensive ($75-$150)
  • Multiple lengths to fit different offset wheels
  • Many color choices
  • Open-ended available
M12 x 1.25

What I've found:

Lengths:
  • 32mm
  • 35mm
  • 42mm
  • 48mm
  • 53mm
Material:
  • Aluminum
  • Steel
Style:
  • Open end
  • Closed end
Colors:
  • Black
  • Blue
  • Orange
  • Red
  • Green
  • Gunmetal
  • Chrome
  • New Chrome
  • Purple
  • Pink
  • White
Brands (price/quality): (some re-branded?)
  • Godspeed
  • Gorilla
  • Muteki
  • Mishimoto
  • NRG
  • Project Kics
  • SSR
  • Rays / Volk Racing
  • Work Wheels
Sites:
  • ft86speedfactory.com
  • rallysportdirect.com
  • evasivemotorsports.com
  • subispeed.com
  • vividracing.com
  • frsport.com
I'm probably looking into the Rays or NRG nuts, as they come in different sizes and colors. Not sure if they are "brand" priced if I can get them for less under a different brand.

I've been running the cheapest blackest lugs I could find, they work great.

We can get you a set of Rays or NRG! Feel free to shoot me a PM with what color/model you're looking for and I'll get you pricing!

I've been using Muteki SR48 open ended, extended lug nuts for the last two years, and have taken off my wheels a few dozen times. They hold up well and haven't shown any signs of fading. They are easy to work with, and look great even after 20K miles on them!
