Custom Lug Nuts

[eTorqueCoasting]

So, I'm thinking I want some custom colored lug nuts on my truck. At moment, I'm thinking I want to keep same size closed acron style, just a different color. Anyone know thread pitch and such? Reputable aftermarket companies or places to buy from? I don't think I want to trust my lug nuts on just any old Chinese knockoff off Amazon or am I thinking too hard about it?
Some off the ones I've come across seem long, like they would stick out a bit and i don't like that

Just know that the paint/powder coat will most likely come off eventually. I've always just gone with gorilla lugs. My black lugs have already started losing their coating from rotations.

If you live in a snowy climate, get McGard lug nuts. They're black chrome instead of painted and they're guaranteed not to rust. I don't like long lug nuts that stick out like a Ben Hur Chariot, so I bought the 1.65" length, spline drive McGard lug nuts. They sit perfectly flush with my wheels.

Hi, I am in the hunt for some black lug nuts, My 2022 Rebel was ordered in the night edition so it came with black wheels. Can't believe they didn't include black lug nuts as part of the changed out wheel package for the night edition option. I was wondering did you have to purchase 6 packages of the McGuard lug nuts or were you able to find all 24 needed in a special order. Also did you have to purchase the installation tool? Looks like you also have a locking lug nut is that correct? Thanks for any help.

I went the cheap route and just did silicone covers, you keep your stock nuts and there are 7 or 8 different colors.

Pic 24 shows them.

My 2019 Rebel

Just got my steps put on and added the beaver step. I notice you now have a Rebel in that new shade of white :LOL:. How are you liking those go rhino side steps? I'm torn between them and a nice set of nerf steps!

Yes. I bought 5 packages of the spline lug nuts and one set of locking lug nuts. I bought a spline socket too. Definitely expensive compared to a set of the Gorilla lug nuts, but worth it IMO.

How long have you had McGard black chrome nuts, and are they showing any sign of rusting? This has been a complaint with black metal nuts, when you put them on they may loose some of their protective coating and eventually rust, the McGard brand seems to be the best ones though.

They've been on my truck since 07-09-2021. Not a speck of rust yet.

After going back and forth, I decided for now I would try the ColorLugs (black) to change out the color of my factory lug nuts. They were very economical, fit very well and did the job I was looking for. If they don't hold up over time, I will switch to the McGard black chrome lug nuts.

Couldn't believe the cost of black lug nuts when i was looking. So I grabbed a set of THESE. Worked great and you can't even tell.

Titanium lugnuts, they will never chip or rust.

Warning be sitting down when you see the price.

How long have you had yours on? Looking for some signs that they last...thanks

I've had them on mine for the better part of a year, through winter and they still look new. Can't beat them

They're also like $25 for set, so you could have a 5 year supply for what a set of lug nuts cost.

 

[User_67930]

True, they are cheap enough!

 

[User_67930]

One thing I always do however, is when I take it in for brake work or tire rotation is I take the covers off so some heavy handed mechanic doesn't just rip them off and ruin them.

How many times have you had the lug nuts off/on in that time?

 

[Idahoktm]

How many times have you had the lug nuts off/on in that time?

Once. I use hand tools to remove/install my wheels. My truck only has 3000 miles on it and I normally drive 5-7000 miles per year.

I haven't read many, if any reviews of McGard lug nuts rusting. If they do, I'll be testing their warranty.
