will the rays lug nuts rust? and strip when putting on and taking off a wheel?? i had gorilla lugs in black, but there starting to look like *hit so need to upgrade. and what size lugs do i need? extended or short??? (whats the difference?)

 

I have the black short Rays from www.evasivemotorsports.com and love them, they do show a little wear after a while but thats normal. They are as light as plastic and as durble as steel. They have great customer service and great prodcuts. Need anything else just let me know.

 

Ive had mine for 2 years with no sign of rust and very little sign of wear. Make sure you take your wheels off by hand and dont use a impact on them and you'll be fine.

 

what size lugs would i need? and they'll fit my enkei 18s? correct?

 

Yeah I have the Enkei RPF1 17x8's and they fit perfect.. Just make sure you get 5x100 lol.. They also come with locks on that website I gave you!

 

Any nut can strip but if your Rays lug nuts rust, you got ripped off. Rays nuts are aluminum, Aluminum doesn't rust. Also since Aluminum is softer than steel they obviously won't be as durable but as long as you're careful with them they will last a long time.
However, the anodizing will eventually fade.

The nuts are not 5x100 the wheels are. The nuts are 12x1.5. You will most likely likely need a conical (or tapered) seat ... depends on what the wheels require.

 

Forgot about the 12x1.5 , i was meaning for the wheel specs. Let us know if ya get some!

 

x2 on the hand tightening. If you're gonna spend a grip on Aluminum nuts, buy a torque wrench too. Over tightening them is a sure way to strip the threads right out.

Lug nut torque on the tC is 76 ft lbs

 

ok sounds good i have 18" enkei evo 5's and they do recommend conical seat... and i do hand tighten torque em at 76 lbs.. thanks... gotta order some tires then i'll get these ..

 

I love my black extended nuts.

 

would short or extended matter? i use the gorilla ones now? they seem extended?

 

Nope. Unless you have extended studs, then you couldn't use the regular nuts. ...unless they're the opened end kind.

I use opened end nuts on my extended studs with my winter wheels.

 

oh ok.. ya my studs are stock length, so i would get the shorts then?

 

Extended...couldn't be happier.

 

^lookin good!


Short/regular, yes.

Tho some use extended nuts on regular studs because they like the look.


Mine.
