Post your lug nuts!

Something that seems to always get lost in the muddle of wheels, tires, and brakes, is lug nuts. Im interested to see what different people run. When you start dropping 3 bills on lug nuts like some here do you know it is all business!

So far all I have personally run have been cheap autozone ones, Motegis (that I ripped in half. doh), and my stockers. Nothing really picture worthy. Post what ya got!

For my race wheels, in purple, with the matching locks

The Expands and Viennas have center caps so I use plain Gorilla spline drives, open ended.

From what I read on here they are discontinued but I may be wrong. Kohinoor hooked me up with the set I have since he had an extra.

i thought the garson ones were relatively new...a few of us bought some for a friend for his bday, not but a few weeks later some of the crystals were missing =( so better quality, ill have to disagree, but i cant say who came out first. i thought it was bersaglio since they came out with their super crystal wheels.

my nuts, 2pc locks, and wheels are about 10yrs old. they predate garson crystal nuts by at least half a decade if not more. bersaglio/lowenhart were the first to market their nuts as genuine swarovski. many other companies made crystal nuts with china "A" quality glass crystals long before garson as well (i shopped around for them in 2003/2004). all garson did was use a smaller size crystal and add their name around it, and i dont remember seeing them earlier than 3yrs ago.

and as far as quality.. 2 or 3 crystals came off our friends set only after a few weeks of driving. not worth the $300+ pricetag IMO.

ive sold a number of sets, and non ehave had a problem. Besides, the look much better, and you have a choice of length too.

i could be wrong on whoe came out first. but i know side by side, the garson ones look 100x better

That was the reason I didnt throw down money for the garsons. $300+ to have the crystals fall out within weeks. No thanks.

That is pretty rough about the Garsons! I haven't had any issues with the tiny crystals on the Glitter shifter but the impacts are not going nearly as harsh.

Here are my variation lugs for 5x112 wheels
