So, I need a new set of lug nuts. Two of mine died at once because sometimes I’m a rockstar when changing wheels... Anyways...

I would prefer something that doesn’t need a stupid key/socket adapter. They don’t need to lock. They will see high track heat, and sometimes might be taken on and off two or three times a day. I would like them to be impact-friendly, because the reality is that no one has time to change wheels by hand and cordless impacts are fantastic. I like the look of open end ones, but closed ones are fine too, I guess. I would like them to be black, but the color really doesn’t matter.

I need a 12x1.5 thread pattern.

What are lug nuts? Are they like wheel bolts?

In the Gen 5 Camaro world, people speak highly of Gorilla lug nuts.

Kind of, but better.

McGard or Gorilla. Not cheap but durable and high quality.

I’m pretty sure what you actually want are some extra long neochrome ones, preferably JDM

Amazing service - called the guy, he sent me a invoice and I paid via PayPal, and he shipped them the next morning, maybe even the same night as they arrived in no time.

I needed stuff for my Abarth, and those are not very common.

Second for McGard. My car has mismatched lug nuts from who knows how many different cars, bought McGard lugs to replace all 24. Not cheap, but I know they won’t fail on me.

They used to (still do?) have a lifetime warranty on their finish. So if the nuts are chrome you can get them replaced if they start to rust, etc.
