Black Lug nut option

[MichaelD]

Hey every body, I had debated replacing the lug nuts but found this option on Amazon, super easy and inexpensive.

I don't know but I can imagine forgetting to tell your next space cadet tire tech about them and having them go to town on them. Or falling off, cracking due to the heat, etc.

When one does go missing, the two day wait for more may bug you having the odd chrome lug nut.

Ooh, as I'm writing this, I figured they were super cheap like $8-10, clicked your link to check and realized they're $25. Buying another set would put you at 50 which is what I paid for my black lug nuts. So... I guess if they don't hold up, just switch to black lug nuts.

What lug's did you decide, that might have to be plan B.

I just ordered black lug nuts with my new wheels so they just sent what I needed.

Audi has been doing this for years with silver plastic covers over the silver lug nuts. It works.

my experience with black lug nuts is that impact wrenches do a number on the coating, keep us posted how they handle the wear
