Well......... I bought some cheap a** lugs from Advanced Auto (I think). Over the year or so I've had them: they silver chrome (see also PAINT!) has chipped off, they have turned orange from rust, and now even the inside threads C'ms 2 have bent over as they just slide over the studs! I mean WTF?!? Talk about getting what U pay 4, man this p*sses me off!
Anyways, I need 2 replace them yet again w/out repeating the same mistake 2x. Pleaz pleaz pleaz help me out, no trial & error shi... crap. Also, keep in mind, I need CONICAL lugs as my 3rd Gen RX-7 Rims mandate this!
"For use with 5-lug wheels, M12 x 1.5 thread, 13/16 in. hex size, with locks and valve stems, chrome plated, SplineDrive lug nut kit"
I'm pretty sure our studs R 1.5", but I don't remember about the threads. Is M12 right? Oh yeah, they're $72.95 + shipping. They're rather Xpensive, but is prob what I'm looking 4.
I've gotta friend who got his @ NAPA & said they were fine, just got a lil rusty. Not wanting 2 have 2 deal w/ again.

Yea man, i know wat u mean, I got mine from Les Swab, not sure if they have that over where u live, but usually they have wat ure looking for. Try them and see what they say about non rusting lug nuts..they are highly recommended where i live. so i would try them later... Andre
