Giving consideration to replacing my lug nuts as they are beginning to show their age, but DAMN! $279.00 for Genuine Parts... or $199.00 for a knock off OEM style part...

Are there any other options out there that are more reasonable?

 

$4.99 each:

@ TripleThreat, I removed the caps off of mine after they were mangled by a local shop changing tires. Not as bad a look as I assumed it'd be.

 

what method did you use for removing the caps?

 

Here you go... You're welcome.

Jafir,

Thanks for the link... Best price I have been able to find anywhere... Ordered a new set tonight...

 

you can buy real chrome lugs without cover on ebay

 

If I ever replace the entire set I think I will go with those. There isn't anything to complex about machining good ones without those silly caps.

Meanwhile I do my own tire rotations and on a few occasions when I have had a tire's sidewall torn up while off roading I take the tire and wheel to the shop where I have my tire warranty and let them remount a new tire on the rim and balance it and then I install it myself as I just have no confidence in the tire shop guys to use the correct socket.

 

These?

I bought a set of lug nuts for my D1 from these guys, years ago. I think they are in the business of taking stock wheels and chroming them, so it would make sense that they sell chrome nuts too.
