Lug NUts

Got the new tires mounted today on the '60 clip rims and decided to dress off the new rims with new lug nuts (7/16 x 21). I've checked 3 different places (NAPA has to order, $30.00 for 24, pick them up tomm.).

No one else has them nor seems interested in getting them. AutoZone was a laugh at 1.99 each single pack. I told them of NAPA and they won't adjust the price. I can wait a day to save $18.00.

I did not think it would be that hard to find them, but it seems all open nuts are "passe'" now - Go figure.

If your local tire shop does business with American Tire Distributors ("ATD") they will have the chrome acorn lug nuts in stock. These shouldn't cost more than about $1 each at retail.

"ATD" is a competitor so there is no love lost from me but I don't service that area of California.

Re: Lug NUts

I have been looking for a good set as well, I bought a set of chrome from a custom wheel shop and they started rusting the first rain we had. Been looking for stainless with no luck either. I hate to mail order them online because I would like to see the quality before I shell out for s.s.
I will be watching this thread to see what you guys come up with.
