What size are our lug nuts? I need some covers for them or new ones because mine are ugly. Some of mine are rusted while others are a gold color. I have the regular torque star wheels. Where is a good place to get some chrome or stainless steel ones? Preferably stainless steel so they won't corrode or rust.

Should i get lug nut covers or actually lug nut replacements? Because it seems like i don't have all the same lug nuts. Some are longer than others.

They look like they will fit...bad thing is you won't know for sure until you get them.

Those are stainless capped lugs. If they are similar to the capped lugs I had on my Blazer, the caps started breaking off the actual lug after so many years exposing a lug similar to the stock lug on the GP.
Go to the parts store and buy some chrome lugs. You can get a set with locks for $20.

The problem with aftermarket lugnuts and torque stars is there isn't much clearance for the lug nut and wrench/socket when it comes time to install them. It's a test as you go. I'd buy locally so you can return sets that don't fit for a set that will.

Yah, something to consider.... I didn't have that problem with the chrome lugs on my Torque stars, but for my new rims I had to get spline drive lugs because the socket for the chrome lugs that I alread had would bind up in the lug hole of the rim.

I am having the same problem with some Motegi's I bought on-line...the space where the Lugs would come in contact with the Studs on the Hub is very narrow in Diameter/Clearance, & the Studs Hardly seems to come-thru enough, just a bit more than a 1/4in. And I realize that most of the Lugs have a conical shape but would that be sufficient grip on the Studs to hold Wheels in Place?

Are there really narrow Lug Nuts, one can purchase to fit these Wheels? I was very excited about being able to install my new tires & wheels...now this seems like it's going to be a problem.
