Well when i bought high quality tire's for the front and rear of the car over a year ago, i sat my CRAP-tastic tires that came on the car to the side.

I bought some OEM 10hole rim's off craigslist, sold 2 of em, and put the old rear tire's i had on the other 2 and did a wicked burnout with them.

well i have the other 2 tire's from the front of the car just taking up space. The manufacturing date is like 11year's ago, so there not really safe for to much street duty, but id like to mount them up for a bit as my mickey thompson's are almost completely slick's in the middle now, and to have some fun on the 'ol street tires.


When i got the old 10hole rim's i bought some basic 1.5" lug nut's from the autopart store, but they are close ended one's and do not tighten down all the way. I ran the car pretty hard on them anyway. but ive scene decided that was stupid as hell as they would never fully tighten.

So i found some open end lug nut's on 5.0 resto. they was $20 for a kit of 20, with 4 locking lug nuts (its cheaper then buying 8 of them by themselves haha)
BUT, they want $15 just to ship them! so $35 total!

Ebay has some for $30, but they are "spline tuner" style.....

Anyone know where i can get some decent priced open end lug nut's to run on these OEM rim's?


I only need 8, and dont want to pay a hole lot.
soon enough i want to buy a extra set of drag lite's, and put some quality street tire's on them to drive around on. but this is just for now i guess.


thanks!

anyway, to find spare lugnuts, go to a junkyard, thats how I found mine

lol, i know.

i found some original picture's of my car from like 4years ago thank's to baddog, and it had a different set of tire's on it. So i think someone took those nice tire's off my car, and put these crap one's.

There BFgoodrich radial T/A's but still old.

The first tire joint i took them to mount to the OEM 10hole's wouldn't touch them, said it was to much of a risk to mount them. Showed me that they where 10year's old. that was last year. haha

when did summit drop there shipping and handling?

I always remember it being $15 for anything.


that seem's like the best deal so far! thanks pro50

PRO50SC

No, it used to be a flat rate of like 8.95 for handling. Never a shipping charge. Regardless, still a good deal. I have these on my car for running my street rims. No issues.

really? i run close ended nuts on both my sets of wheels. the cobras and turbines. actually the same ones.

PRO50SC

I guess it depends on the depth of the closed end lugs. 10 holes came from the factory w/ open ended lugs.

Napa should have some. I know at work we had to go get some for a pacifica.
