i'm buying some chrome y2k's tonight and wanted to know what my options are on the lugnuts since they are not included.
thanks,
Michael

They should work with no problem - but unless they are chrome they won't look good at all.

Assuming you have stock wheels though - your lugnuts will work - you just won't be able to use the cover caps.

I don't think you will be able to use the cover caps - that's why I mentioned them.

Lugnuts should be fine - most are about the same size (as long as they are the right pitch, etc.) - But the covers don't fit in the small holes of many wheels.

I don't think you can get chrome covers anywhere anyhow...just chrome lug nuts.


Hey Jason - if you see this thread - you should pull your post about "gorilla nuts" over into this section - just to give it some character.
