i'll get on researching this and seeing the feasibility ASAP Monday!

That's what i was thinking. I have some sockets that have more than 12 points....

yeah i see. for something like a 12, i dont think itd work under any circumstances; it'll either be too small to go over, or so big that the small width sides would just keep turning over without gripping. but an eight on the other hand...
id say a shape with a bulge on opposite sides but that'd look mad weird.

tested these out today; threaded down the whole length of a G37 stud i was holding in my hands. so good to go on these fitting
edit: got five of the OEM lugs here, been playing around with them. how does that washer fasten on to the nuts? i cant get one off to save my life.

I couldn't get it off either.... screw it....LoL.... (no pun intended)

I posted pics on the other forum, looks like you don't need the pics anymore.

yeah thats the price we're going to beat. but when it comes down to it, thats about the average price for true titanium lug nuts, not aluminum with 'titanium finish' or anything like that. but we'll definitely be beating that price

I'd be willing to pay $300 for a set of washer style mag lugz that will fit my 19" sports Rays. Though I would prefer Black, I guess I could go with another color depending on what was offered.

ditto on the black

I was sitting in econ lecture today playing with the lug nuts I had left over after installing the OEM wheel locks. I was trying to figure out the same exact thing. How DOES that washer fit onto the lug nut?

shabarivas · 04-05-2010, 04:46 PM

I paid about 120 shipped for some custom gold powder coated mc-gard spline drive lugs... 300 is insane...

bejan · 04-15-2010, 04:58 PM

black, bronze and grey: simple and neutral colors

wishihadnav · 04-15-2010, 05:39 PM

burnt prototypes look good to me!..no need for colors imo.
