Default Help on lugs
Looking for recommendations on 19mm lug nuts for aftermarket wheels on a Stingray. I've seen Paragon makes some titanium ones also Vossen makes some but dropping $300 on lugs seems like a bit of overkill. Has anyone had experience using any others? Thanks in advance.

Silly to pay that much......$40-50 and no more. Plenty of quality lug nuts out there much cheaper.

Agreed but for aftermarket wheels I don't see much like there are for OEM.

I have black lugs for sale - let me know if interested. Took them off my 2022 Z51.

Are these OEM? If so they wouldn't be of use to me. I need a smaller size (19mm) for aftermarket forged wheels.

I got Gorilla black 19mm lugs ( Tuner type ) for my Forgelines last year.
Very happy with them.
Forget where I purchased them, maybe Summit Racing?
Lots of places to look.

I take it the wheels you are buying don't come with lug nuts and if they do they are the $300 kind, correct?

Have you reached out to the maker of the wheels to ask? They probably sell them. A lot of wheel manufacturers include lugs with their wheels.

Correct they don't come with lugs. Paragon was recommended.

Yes I did but they don't sell them. They just recommended the Paragon.
