Bersaglio Crystal Lug Nuts

I was gonna go with Garson, but after reading stories about several people having the crystals come off I'd rather not spend so much and get disappointed.

By chance I came up on the Bersaglio's, but I think they're discontinued? Anybody know where I can get them or even some other lug nuts with Swarovski crystals? A local shop has some that are made by Project Kics but they are the extended version, I need the short.

Thanks in advance for any help/leads.

theyve been discontinued for a few years now.

you can get some lugs with china "A quality" glass for pretty cheap. the cut isnt as nice, but most people wont be able to tell the difference anyway.

Hmmm...any info on where I can get that? I was googling and i came across some JDM website and they said they may have one in stock. Crossing my fingers that they do. I need a 12 x 1.25, but if it's a 12 x 1.5 would I be able to just swap my studs (I'm going to replace all of them anyway).

hrmm.. i forgot. just try different key words in google.

was it jdm-wheels.com?

Funny you bring this up. I was at Harbor Motor Sports the other day and was geeking out on all of the accessories they have in a display case and saw some but I think they were the "iced out emz" brand or whatever. Worth a shot, if they don't have what you're lookig for I'm sure they'de be able to source them for you bro. Assuming you've checked all of our forum's sponsors too. HMS' number is 714.379.7770. Ask for John or Ed. Good luck....going all out with rivets too?

Thanks for the info Kris. If JDM-wheels don't have it, then i'll check em out if none of the vendors here have em.

I wish I could do rivets but I have a 2 piece welded wheel and rivets don't show :(

theyre going to scam you. thats roo's company (search for roo, youll see). i bought the set from him over 2 years ago and it took him months to ship them to me after threatening him a few times.

 ^^^yeah, was a thread here and lotsa oter members had similar experiences ith that dude...will see if i can't dig up soome inf for you.

Oh sh*t. Good lookin out fellas. I'd be so pissed, and not necessarily because I spent money on it and didn't get it, but I'm tryin to piece things together ASAP. New rears should be coming in within a month.

Kris, the ones you saw, were they short or extended lugs?

I don't know bro. They were in a box, only saw the topps of them.

^^^there's the thread about those guys man.

Came across these on egay, but there's only 16...plus I'm wondering how good they actually look. Wouldn't wanna waste 50 bucks on somethin that turns out to be useless. Would rather pay more for somethin better.

Thanks for the info Kris, gonna check it out now

JDM wheels got back to me....u guys think I should ask if they'll send me a pic with a current date on it and take em up on the lug nuts or just pass and not take any chances?

caveat emptor. youve been warned about roo. the decision is up to you.

Hrmmm....tempting, but I'll think I'll take at least one smart move and resist temptation. It's kinda like being drunk in the club and not knowing if the girl you're dancin with is that fine or u got some beer focals on....worth the risk and wakin up wit a butt fugly chick? Ehhh....thanks for the final caution.

Hopefully I can find another set, otherwise I'll check into the ones HMS has that Kris mentioned.

NP bro, where are these guys located, might be worth the drive. Just do the deal face to face if possible. LMAO, I feel you on not making the same mistake twice dude - believe you me LOL.

I noticed it said US warehouse pickup is in Gardena, but they said the lug nuts are in Tokyo.

Another thought I've had is, what if the lug nuts get jacked, dunno if I wanna take that risk, so I'm thinking about buying some and using them for shows and buying another set of chrome lug nuts (or whatever color) and adding Swarovski crystals that they sell at Michael's and Joanne's fabrics. That way if they get jacked, I'm not taking a huge loss on something that is quality.

Problem is finding the right kind of lug nuts. Also it would be nice to have all locking nuts too on those to make it a bit more difficult and deter the average joe walking by and catching their eye. As for thieves, well....if they want it, they pretty much would do anything to get it.

joannes and michaels dont sell swarovski lol. they only sell china glass

This is what I got...was gonna do my shift knob but i been too lazy.

I called up the place you mentioned Kris. All they have em for is for the Benz cos it's a bolt, not a lug nut, or something like that. He said to google Diamond lug nuts. Already came across those and they look pretty cheap. Looks like Muteki's with some fake crap on it.

Came across these too:

The last ones I posted were about $150, rather go with the Bersaglio if I can get him, currently waiting on a quote from someone else. The other ones come out to 47 shipped, but no locking nuts.

I want actual Swarovski damnit! Bah. I'm considering the cheap ass $47 ones for daily use, just wondering if I should worry about locking nuts, if it's even worth getting them....or if I should get these for daily use:

These would match my tail lights, but wonder how they'll look with the wheels. Or if I should go with something else. At this point I'm all up for any suggestions.

Sorry Levon, didn't mean to send you on a dry run bro. I feel you on red matching your tails. Hmmm, just throwing an idea out there but I'd like to see those in like say body color would be fresh - could be hit or miss though. Maybe chrome or whatever on one side and colormatched to body color on the other? I'm all ocd though and could see myself feeling all lopsided rolling around like that though lol. I say one or the other. Or get both and just switch it up from time to time. Only prob is that I've never seen an anodized white, or pearl so you'de probablly have to have some powdercoated and luggs are gonna knick/scratch...unless you mask everything and shoot it with paint yourself once they're on or something...sorry for the encyclopedia sized post. GL

All good Kris, worth givin something a shot then not giving one at all. I also did think about the body color as well. I thought about an anodized gold as well. Kinda want somethin different or stands out and both will do that.

Think extended lugs would look good on my wheels? I'm gonna say no, but maybe you guys can share some opinions.

Couple pics for reference. These are short Work RS lug nuts.

Gold would be spicy. Especially with your tan leather. Tied together with gold callipars possibly?...

If I had BBK's then I'd most def do gold calipers, but since mine are puny I'm not even gonna bother and i know i'll get flamed for bein rice lol

BTW, i want ur wheels lol. Well that style. im bored, gonna see if i can find a side pic and photoshop em

I feel ya, go big or go home. Personally, I like rice. Steamed, fried, or just a big scoop in my mexican food soup lol. Thanks, there is a set of 20s for sale on a mb forum for 850 picked up - central NJ. Original asking price was like1150 or something. I wanted to pick them up for the 20x10 rears and rock my rear 19x9.5 up front BUT I got layd off. Modding has to wait.

God I love that interior on the GS.

I've been sending emails back n forth with JDM wheels..i had a feeling this is what it would come down to...

[COLOR=White]"[/COLOR][COLOR=#1F497D][FONT=&quot][COLOR=White]Not yet, the supplier is sending  the set to us right now. I suggest remitting payment quickly if you want  these though, they will not last very long."

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I told them to send me a pic with the current date and my email and that was their response. I is not stupid. Although I would have sent them payment had I not been warned over her.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

Is this car driven often? Kalvinmaui's diamonds came off within a few weeks I think.  

I was also about to get some garson but was dissapointed with the reviews I was getting. The price is pretty damn high for some lug nuts, even then I really didn't mind buying them but not if they were going to have the crystals fall out so soon.  Luckily Kohinoor let me catch a spare set of bersaglios he had:biggthumpup:

I think they sell generic crystal lug nots on ebay as well.

It's not driven daily. Maybe sees the road, once or twice a week.
They've survived some pretty long and brutal trips though....
:shrug:
 
 
I'm pretty sure if I had them on mine, they'd probably fall off as well.......

I do a ton of driving and some of the areas aren't all that great (dips, bumps, cracks). I'd love to have them but taking the risk is a lil tough. I would rather use the 4 bills towards a custom bumper.

Bump if anyone has more info as to where to get the Bersaglio's.

dont know where to get the bersaglios but i was reading one of the latest VIP mags and in one of the adds in the back it looks like Silk Blaze makes diff color crystal lug nuts. Will try and scan or take a pic later. Hope that helps in your hunt.

That would be much appreciated. I couldn't find much other than a vendor on Club Lexus selling Silk Blaze body kits so I PM'ed them to see if they can get the lug nuts...thanks for the info though.

Sorry homie! I didnt know how to translate:pat: they looked like lug nuts! But this is the ad i was talking bout. Its in the VipStyle #7. I dont think they are lug nuts. Hope you can find what your looking for.

No worries man, any help is much appreciated. I was able to go on their webpage and turns out they are valve stem caps. I contacted them, but I'll see if I get a response back.

Yeah, I've came across those, but not real swarovskis :(

But I think I'll use them for the time being. Thanks for reminding me, lol.

What took months shipping? Ocean shipping from Japan can take long time but threats not make boat go faster. Everyone like to use word "scam" so much but beside shipping delays, I find nobody "scam" by Roo. People scam by Timothy Passillas yes, no Roo. I have not work here long but when I saw what people said about Roo I can't believe and ask Roo to show me evidence. I saw enough but seems Timothy Passillas is very good liar to make Roo look bad.

By the way, here are the "Bersaglio Super Crystal Nuts" being inquired. Is this picture show there is no "scam" but real set? Still available too!

why would i have nuts ocean shipped? lol. they were in california and it took forever to get them. i am not here to argue. that was just my experience.

I had inquired about the lug nuts and asked for some sort of verification, my email with date on a paper with lug nuts to show they were there, but I didn't get a response back so it made me cautious and I didn't proceed with the order. I recall in my email messages that it would be air shipped or something, where it would take 3 weeks approximately.

With what was mentioned and not having bought from them before it's difficult to put full trust and I can't afford losing out on any money. This at least gives me some confirmation.

^^^there you go Levon. And Nao, my hat is off to you for clearing up all that mess both here and other forums. And I spy my ride on your monitor, lol.

 Nuts would not take months, you must be mistaken. Do you have receipt  from purchase and shipping date. I discussed with roo and has only sold  few sets of these before and he doesn't remember any order taking  months. He mention that before he operate from California so maybe it  was in shipment from Japan to California, then to you but if that, you  would know it takes time source from Japan.

We do not have last e-mail you mention. We try to reply all mails ASAP.  As you see, can easily take more picture of the nuts if needed. SAL  shipping take 2-3 weeks. EMS less than 1 week.
