Default Lug Nuts

Quick question, does anyone know if these will fit in the stock rim holes? Need knew lugs, hate how the stock chrome finish nuts rust over time, nasty looking! Thanks!

Okay, thats what I figured, thanks for the visual. Would you have any suggestions for a good quality set? I'm mainly looking for ones that will postpone/ slow corroding, unlike the stock ones.

Yeah, just get some stainless ones. Sounds like you had some cheap aftermarket chrome ones. They'll rust hanging on the peg at the store.

Lol, I like that, No it seems someone used the wrong size socket when removing them. So the corners are slightly chipped, thats why they are rusting.

Get new stock ones. They will be the safest on stock rims.

I'm sure there are plenty of tC owners on here that would sell their OEM lugs. Look how many have aftermarket wheels and lugs. Throw up an ad in the classifieds.

I don't know, something about used parts makes me a Little uneasy. Granted their only lug nuts, but I'll see what I can find. I'll throw one up and see what pops up, thanks for the advice!
