Is everyone running stock lugnuts, or some aftermarket brand??? I lost a wheel stud/ lugnut last fall, and now have a mismatched set on there. Any recommendations, any specific brands?

Thanks.

I bought a bunch at the local tire store and use them. I got the open ended ones so that stuff couldn't get trapped in them and possibly prevent good contact with the lug threads. Some guys get them at the NAPA store.

NAPA ARP hardened open ended lug nuts $1.10 or so each

Also ARP studs from summit racing

Make sure that the lugs have the correct 60 degree taper and that they are the "Bulged" style. Torque them to the proper setting (the studs should be dry - no lube!!) in a star pattern and re-check after 23-30 miles of driving.

Got a part #? I can't even find lug nuts on the ARP website...

I got OEM type lug nuts made by Dorman from RockAuto.com for about a dollar each last year.

I am on my second set of ARPs on a new set of hubs.

The item # on the invoice from ARP says 100-7708.

The description is 12mm x 1.50 Late Model GM WSK at $14.77 for a 5-pack of chrome moly studs.

These are longer than the stock studs. They have shorter ones, too.

ARP does not sell lug nuts.

I bought them from the dealer, less expensive then MAD, dealer was about $1.10/ea.

Here's a good deal from SLP. I'm sure they have tons of them from their old FBody program.

Depending on the number of tire changes per year, you should change them regularly.

Works out to about $1.50 each and they are GM OEM.
