Here we go, I added 5HP per wheel, OR is it 25HP per wheel? !

Does Chrysler still ship Jeeps with those two-layer nuts that like to lose their shell? Replacing all of mine with solid ones was such a no-brainer the first time I lost half of one and discovered their perfidy.

If they do, they do it right after they come off the truck because they have normal lugs or locks by the time we prep them for delivery.

Adding visual lightness helps perceived power to weight ratio.

Normal here. My last Truck had them, 2016 Ram .

Unfortunately, t hat black comes off. Mrs. Twowheels has a Crosstrek sitting in the garage that started out with black lug nuts that are awful shiny now. Was considering a quicky coat of Krylon, but she doesn’t care about these things.

My ‘11 had these shitty lugnuts. I doubt these guys responding have any idea what you’re referring to.

Jeeps are renown for they’re shitty lugnuts. They look like normal nuts, but are made of an outer chrome shell pressed around a steel core. After a few years they separate and you have to use vice grips to get the nuts off (that’s what she said).

Any idea why Jeep did that? Hard to imagine building them in two pieces was cheaper than solid, but what I know about materials science would fit on a business card with room to s pare.

Oh, if that’s the case then I’m not sure. I’ve never really studied them haha

Probably because it was the cheapest possible option.
