I was just wondering...when purchasing new wheels do you need new lugs nuts also? I think i heard something about it is best to get new ones when getting new wheels? If so, are there any lug nuts that any would prefer that wont chip(i bought some that did). Anyone sell a full set of locking nuts that are good quality and hard to get off without the lock?
Are my nuts still good?

Pm Outlaw99, he'll check your nuts.
You're better off getting steel nuts than brass balls.
All humor aside, always replace your nuts with fresh ones. They tend to get cupped from torque.

I havent seen an aftermarket lock thats really hard to get into. Only one ive ever had a hard time with is one chrysler had, it was the lock and it hard a metal sleeve that would spin around the lock very hard to break off.....I worked at discount tire not a theif btw. Anyway yea best to get new lug nuts when you get new wheels.
Also, go with Gorilla brand. Their nuts are impossible to remove when combined with the locking nuts.
No scratching either.

It depends on the size of the nuts. Are these to replace your existing nuts?
Which brand wheels are you replacing the stock ones with?
This will determine if the nuts are "bulge acorn" or "short shank". Most of the aftermarket wheels require a bulge.

Those are 1/2" bulge style. If they are the Cragar SST models, get them here for the best deal:

Contact JC Whitney and Cragar to make sure.
Don't forget to polish your nuts regularly. These are chrome.

That should work. Just make sure to check with the wheel MFG to ensure length and cup size.
I must be a pervert cause this thread is making me lol.
those are some intense gorilla nuts
Check your local zoo. You might have a little trouble removing them for your personal use, I recommend a heavy duty tire iron.
