They didn't use a special nut for the BBS wheel.

i have stock lugs for my wheels, but they have the external thread for the hub cap... they do not look the best either... i may have to guy a whole new set of lug nuts.... damn it...

the threaded one might be too large in diameter to fit in the holes. i have run into this before.

dtjackten I may have a complete set for you. They are used but complete. If not any auto parts store will have them as well. Let me know

Yeah, stock alloy style lug nuts. Steel wheel lug nuts won't work so well. It is easy to forget about the difference, if you didn't have steel wheels, or haven't run them for a while. I went with the normal stainless capped lugs and ditched the hub caps because they were broken when I bought the car.

Also, the old school plain steel lugs without the stainless caps are too short. They barely stick out enough to get a socket on them. Not that you would even consider those, but just putting the info out there.

I had forgotten that I had those on another car I had. Thought I had the stainless capped ones. I had alloys mounted, and they were telling me I needed to buy lug nuts. I was like WTF, the ones that are on there will work fine!

Man did I feel like an ass.

TRUE. I kind of forgot about that. Good point bill.

I have the stainless covers on mine so I take it they are steel lugs. They are from an 05 SXT.

i may call the dealer and see how much they r going to rape me for them.... some of the aftermarket lug nuts just suck... lol....

Yea I just figured I would throw it in there in case you were in a crunch. I thought that they were exact replacements of what came with our cars...guess I was mistaken.

yeah, i have a set of gorilla lug nuts for my primax wheels, but i will have to look at something else now... hmmm

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 1:54 pm

The lug nuts you have may work. Need to know what style, cone size, etc.

Trade you my stock ones for your gorillas lol

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:36 pm

i will take a pic of my gorillas tonight, i can not remember what the specs are on them, it has been sooo long since i bought them....

*counting hand*

6 years... yes 6 years i got them... and still in great shape!

Or just hope on eBay, or something like that and get similar ones to OEM. The holes ought to be the same size as any other stock wheel.

12 x 1.5, if you go another "aftermarket" route. For less than $50, you could get a nice quality set, nothing special, that are brand new and hold just fine.

This is the only one they show for '01 aluminum wheels.

6502738 NUT, Wheel Chrome, M12x1.5, [WJA,WNS,WN2]

MSRP $7.00 each

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 2:58 pm

yeah i just got off the phone.. the dealer is going to cut me a deal at 5.25 each.... OUCH!

SlvrACR · Post by **SlvrACR** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 4:42 pm

McGuard has them. We charge $1 a piece

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 4:54 pm

i wonder if i check my stock lug nut and my gorilla ones if i will beable to see if they will work or not??? i just dont want to mess up these wheels. these are the first ever used set of wheels i have bought....

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:20 pm

If they look like the second style at the bottom of that page then you should be fine. As long as they have the bulge 60* seat they will work.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:33 pm

First ever set of used wheels you've bought....but most likely the nicest wheels you've bought.

I asked about enough to do the car in one sale:

If you're looking for 20 lug nuts, I can sell them to you for $20.00 plus S/H. That would be 10% off the price

That's $1 each for stock or stock appearing. They are a Mopar dealership, I bought from them before. I'm going to get a set or two at some point just to have fresh ones stashed away. $5.25 each is a lot of money.

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 9:49 pm

ok here are a pics of my stock lug nuts, and my gorrilla lugs... they have the locking key and all, but i am not sure if they r going to work or not...

I'm using the Gorilla lugnuts on my srt wheels, which means they should work on the bbs's.

They don't bulge out as much as the stockers, but you do get enough of the acorn on the wheel to properly seat it.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:30 am
