Lug Nuts
« on: October 15, 2014, 08:37:47 AM »
Anyone with suggestions for where to get lugnuts (chrome ones for the aluminum wheels) and locks that are the same external dimension as the OEM ones? McGards are just slightly bigger and you cant use the factory lug wrench on them.

Thanks,

Rich

I bought mine from Napa. Great quality product. Stay away from China made. Corrosion deteriorates them really fast.

They're all made in China nowadays :) However IMO that's not really the problem, it's the manufacturer that you gotta look for. If it's a well known brand, manufacturing place doesn't matter as they have their quality systems in place wherever they're made.
