Never replace with oem. Get some nice gorilla nuts or something

Do you think he'll recommend deez nuts??

I always recommend rubber nuts! They serve to protect, need no lubing, and can be customized for the proper fit. Some recommend Gorilla's nuts but they're way too big.

Any lug nuts intended for OEM wheels will not be self centering, as OEM wheels are hub centric. The lug nuts should only provide clamping force, not centering force.

That said, Gorilla makes a lot of lug nuts and likely make self-centering lug nuts if you have aftermarket wheels that require them (i.e. the aftermarket wheels are not hub centric).

I can't believe you wrote this. You just ruined the whole thread!

I like to think of there being two threads within this one broader thread! The rest of you can keep talking about your hard, swollen, rubber nuts in your sub-thread.

It is such a relief when you can get your swollen nuts off.

It's sometime difficult to get a good grip.

As long as they aren't blue.
