Post subject:  Lug nuts
I lost another lug nut cover, that makes 8 in two months. I want to replace them all with solid metal ones. Someone a while back posted a link on where to buy some that looked stock, and the correct size needed. I couldn't find the thread, anyone know?

only problem with those is that they are only sold in sets of 4. I guess its not a huge problem and you would have extra lugs if you needed one.

Not if you get a set of wheel locks :)

Post subject:  Thanks
That's the link I was looking for.

I do have wheel locks and will use the leftovers for the spare.

I piched my wheel locks long ago. My wheels look so bad I couldn't pay someone to steal them. :lol:

I also have tossed my wheel locks besides the OEM one for the spare(I didn't want to buy another 4 lugs for just one wheel stud) since I have a set of wheel lock removers(6 different sizes) that can be bought from sears for under $30,doesn't make much sense to have them if the tools to easily remove them are so readily available.

Don't really even need those to remove wheel locks. Only thing wheel locks do is prevent stupid people from steeling wheels.

As for myself, I bought em to keep my spare on the back when I was stationed in Hawaii (common for vehicles owened by military personnel to be stolen or vandalized).

Yeah I used to use a 13/16" impact deepwell socket and pound it on with a 3lbs hammer but hated breaking those impact sockets all the time.
