600 dollar lug nuts.

Found these when I was looking for some lug nuts for my new wheels. Speaking of, if anyone can find some lug nuts that have a 1/2" 20 thread pitch and a 17mm head in black I would be really grateful. Vorshlag sells !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but unfortunately only in chrome. Would love to get some black ones since the car/wheels are all black.

those are some beautiful nuts though. If I had scads of money, all my cars would totally have them, because it's the details that make the difference.

These are custom lugnuts that run $400. But they are basically handmade.

Best I can do to your original question:

Not 17mm though- spline drive.

Good eye. I found these:

which are .8 " across (around 20mm) which MIGHT be small enough. I tried looking to see if there is any info on the width of the spline for the rocket racing one, but no luck.

Yea just confirmed the opening is 1.1" so those Gorilla ones I found should work.

600 dollar lug nuts. What, for each nut??

But it's US$599 for a set of 20 lug nuts. Titanium lug nuts in fact.

And suddenly (no sarcasm) it all makes sense.

I would totally put these on my drilled out titanium studs.

I seem to remember that Gorilla also offers a good warranty if the finish comes off. That's pretty cool.

Didn't know that, sweet. Just ordered those Gorilla ones. So for now I should be done, much to the relief of my bank account.

Yea the titanium is what does it. But damn I would freaking wince every time I had to put a wrench on those things, thinking I would possibly mark them haha.

Great, the Gorilla lug nuts are good ones. I've used them before and they held up very well.
