I'm sure you can get new ones at a local autoparts store. When i worked at NAPA this past summer i think they sold them.

 

They are 1/2 inch. I believe they are 20 threads per inch. Check this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lug-N...49179615QQrdZ1

 

yeah, i dont really need the valve stems since i already got the tires mounted on the rims...just need a torque wrench to get these nuts off....i might just get some basic chrome lugs from mustangs plus because u can buy them for 95 cents each which is pretty darn good.

 

oh those are cool, might just get those.

 

ummm torque wrenches/ratchets are only for tightening nuts, not a good idea to use one to loosen bolts

 

i meant an impact wrench.

 

spend the money on GOOD chromed lug nuts or they will rust/peel in a short while. Once they peel they get to be a pain when you take them off and piece of chrome slices your hand.[:@]

 

Ain't that the truth. Buy the highest quality nuts you can find.

 

You should not need an impact wrench, if you do your lug nuts are too tight! I generally use the breaker bar from the 1/2" socket set. Has plenty of leverage. Look at the lug wrench that came with the car. If you cannot remove the lug nut with this, it is too tight!
