rusty lugg nutts - Toyota Yaris Forums

matthewai · 02-22-2011, 01:52 AM

so the car is only a couple of months old and i noticed a tiny bit of rust on the lug nuts is this okay ? is it cause they are cheap stock ones or maybe cause i took the hubcaps off but they would get wet anyway with or without the hubs right ? should i get new ones ? open end or closed end ?

open end are for racing and if you have extended studs. Or to look like you race, lol.

tiny bit of rust won't hurt anything.

big lo · 02-22-2011, 02:22 AM

Or you can get some gorilla lugs from MI lol

matthewai · 02-22-2011, 02:27 AM

matthewai · 02-22-2011, 06:42 PM

hey thinking about a set of these but which one is silver and which is titanium ?

my guess is silver is on the far left and titanium is the lighter one almost white looking

WeeYari · 02-22-2011, 07:58 PM

Are your hubcaps going back on again? If so, just stick with what you've got.

matthewai · 02-22-2011, 08:58 PM

but i think im gonna keep the stock lug nuts for now and possibly get the trim rings

severous01 · 02-23-2011, 12:02 AM

spray WD 40 on a rag.....wipe rag on lugs...done.

DO NOT SPRAY WD40 ONTO LUGS OR NUTS...

matthewai · 02-23-2011, 12:10 AM

If they're chrome you can dip some tinfoil in white vinegar and bring the shine right back.

matthewai · 02-23-2011, 12:02 PM

these might be the ones along with one of those center caps

RedRide · 02-23-2011, 01:07 PM

These are the ones I got and I highly recomend them....... and the vendor.

Whatever you get, make shure they are 1 3/4' depth, and have metal retaining clips. Some are made of all plastic and the retaining clips can wear or break.
Also, ABS chrome is definately the way to go for various reasons.

matthewai · 02-23-2011, 01:11 PM

sweet yeah i heard not to get the metal ones ill prob order these today good call
