This post is an FYI for anyone who might be thinking about buying "chrome" lugs from EBAY.
just got my "chrome" lugs from the guy who sells them on ebay. they came all the way from the basement of the alamo. yippee, NOT. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) they look okay with the FUCHS i have, but they have 17mm heads(instead of 19) so my black plastic caps don't fit. the ball seat of them is also a bit smaller than the stock lug, so it does not sit as snug in the opening of the rim. no big deal once they are tightened, but it's about the little things. they also scratch really easily as they appear to be chrome "dipped". They are also not as heavy as the originals and i am not sure what they are constructed of. $64 down the drain. I'll only keep them on the car until i can find a some replacements.
