If you are upgrading from a set of factory wheels to custom alloy wheels, your original equipment lug nuts will be exposed and visible when you make the change. Once shiny, but now covered with rust, grease and dirt, the old nuts may have been fine when hidden behind wheel covers. But once youre rolling on new rims, the dingy look of old lug nuts just wont cut it anymore. In this article, well discuss replacement lug nut kits found in the Lug Nuts & Locks section of our website. Theyll cover you with good looks, and at the same time will eliminate the threat of wheel theft.
If youve got an older vehicle thats very popular or common, dont think thieves wont want your stock, "boring-looking" wheels. They will. OEM wheels are stolen all the time because theyre in such high demand as parts.
And there is a demand for them because every day, these wheels suffer irreparable damage during daily driving. Whether you have alloy wheels or steel wheels with plastic wheel covers, a set of wheel locks is a solid investment when it comes to security.
We offer wheel lug nuts, lug bolts, wheel locks, decorative caps and covers, and complete kits made from hardened steel. Finishes, depending on what you select, may be anodized (in an array of colors), chrome plated, or powder coated.
If you want everything you need with just one mouse click, complete kits focus on theft protection. In addition to lug nuts or bolts, these kits will include one locking lug per wheel (four total), and a wheel key adapter to tighten or remove those locks.
Depending on the year, make and model vehicle entered into the Product Options screen, you may see kits for 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8-lug wheels. For example, if your specific vehicle was built with 5 lugs per wheel, youll automatically get a 20-piece set. If your vehicle was built with only 4 lugs per wheel, the set for your vehicle will contain 16 pieces in total.
You may come across different designs of lug nuts to select from. Some examples are "Cone Seat", "Bulge Cone Seat", and "Spline Drive". Each of those styles are available with locking lugs that match each respective look as closely as possible. In addition to chrome, you may see optional finishes in black, gold, red and blue, dependent on your vehicle and your lug design choice. You will make that selection in the Product Options field once vehicle specifics are entered.
If youre keeping the same wheel covers on an older or classic vehicle and just need replacements for OEM-style lug nuts, we’ve got McGard’s Under Hub Cap Cone Seat Wheel Installation Kit, H&R Lug Nuts, Moroso Double End Lug Nuts just to name a few. Since these lug nuts match the strength and size of original equipment, theyll last a lifetime without posing clearance problems whenever wheel covers are put on over them.
Do you already own rims that are large and in charge? Maybe the wheels youre anxiously awaiting will be in a deep black shade that matches your car.
