Where to buy wheel lug/nuts?
 

The set of nuts that came w/ my Arospeed wheels are total pieces of crap. The metal is so soft, I'm afraid that the next time I take the tire off with the adapter it's going to strip the nut. Anyone know what kind/type/brand I should get? I have no idea what fits but here's a picture of them:

Ah yes, what you need is the 8point tuner lug. The hex is no good for that reason. I can look into them for you, but you should be able to call your big local wheel shops and ask specifically for 8pt tuner lugs 12x1.5 pitch, rather than the 6pt.

If you can't find them locally I can get you a set.

I've tried locally but they all say "we don't carry them". Ok yeah...

How much would a set of these cost? I'd rather order it straight from you.

Thanks.

what a bunch of horse shit. I can't believe that. I'll call tommorrow and find out. We don't do much of the tuner lug style wheels so I don't have them in stock but I will find out for you. It's in my Notebook.

Alright thanks man!

Rishie, any updates on the lugs?

I bought soem Kyokugen Lug nuts. They are 7 sided hex nuts that Rishie had told me about at one time. I actually got mine on ebay for about $40 shipped. Nice lugs.

damn negatize I'm so sorry. With the holidays and such I lost track of a bunch of shit.

I'll make the call monday and get those for you. Thanks for your patience.

I don't believe the kyo's would work for this application. It requires a tuner style lug.

No problem, I don't plan on rotating/taking off my wheels anytime soon. Just let me know at your convenience.
