Some of you may know that i just purchased a set of repro fuch rims. I looked at how much the lug nuts(im putting studs in the rotors) are for these rims are and it turns out that its like 6 bucks a lug nut. thats 120 dollars for all the lugs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . Why are they so expensive and can i find them anywhere cheaper? I noticed that the lugs have a rounded bottom to mate up with the rim correctly, is that why that are a more expensive?
Ive checked autozone, etc, and all they have are acorn style, tapered edge, which i don't think will work. I don't mind buying these lug nuts, but if theres a cheaper alternative, im game for that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Sorry in advance for the hijack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pirate.gif), but it's kind of in the same ballpark...
I hava a set of 4-lug Fuchs repros being shipped to me. For my 74, totally stock 914, what length lugs should I use for these wheels? My thanks! Now we return you to your regularly scheduled programming... |

I bought steel wheel lug bolts for my repros because the others seemed too long. The repros have recessed lug holes so they use a shorter lug compared to the originals. |
