So i just picked up a set of volk wheels for my tc because mine were damaged in a accident! I dropped them of at the body shop where my car is being worked on and they said i need a new set of lugs. I already had a set of splined "tuner lugs" on there but they said i need new lugs like rays volk lug nuts? has anyone heard of this problem before because i sure as heck have not and i sure as heck dont have $180 for new lugs!

Depends on the type of seat for the wheel... but I would assume Volks still use the common conical style.

they do they said my lugs were too wide

these are the lugs i had which are just universal thin tuner lugs. http://www.calwheelaccessories.com/i.../tcspl_LRG.jpg

what lugs are thinner?

i think the shop damaged my lugs but want me to replace them so there trying to pull a fast one on me!

youngflyer

please is there anyone with more info? every other lug nut i look at looks about the same width as the "tuner lugs"

DJ08tC

what kind of volks are they? From what I am reading, there are a few that need different type of tuner lugs.

youngflyer

the gtc's, nothing special...i really think the shop is trying to pull a fast one on me!

yup there is your problem the GT-C need different lugs from what I read on NASIOC. They require specific lugs.

wow fml lol....dj your a life saver!

no problem man,

hopefully one of the wheel guru's can back me up.

youngflyer

Well I think your right because I just read that elsewhere too but those lugs are 100 and the lugs that the shop are trying to get
me are blue rays. If the gtc requires a specific lug then how are they able to use other lugs, I'm so confused...

Yes, you will need a specific type of lug nut for those GT-Cs, like the one DJ posted.
