Gauging Interest: Lug Nuts Group Buy - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kayoh · 01-13-2014, 03:05 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm not a vendor, just a fellow FT86 owner and enthusiast. I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in a group buy for lug nuts and if so which kind/type.

Additionally, are there any vendors who would be interested in sponsoring this?

I would be interested in a McGard groupbuy

I'm interested, but still not sure what I want.

Must be:
-Locking Lug Nut (sold in pack of 20, all locking)
-Stylish
-Short/open ended and not look like someone can grab them with a vice grip to get them off.
-Around $100 or less.

We regularly do custom lugnuts.

The latest design is a phosphate coslettized 4140 chromoly steel lug nut (left). The ones on the right are forged aluminum lugnuts.

I ended up buying McGard lock and spline drive set. Figured the locks were probably good and splines just odd enough a random person wouldn't have the tool.

Wish I could have found a set of 20 locks of pretty much any type of lock.

Aren't McGards the only lug nuts that have a free-spinning collar which reduces deep marring into your wheels' finish when you torque them down? That's why I voted McGard. Plus they are the OEM choice which TRD and STI rebadged.
