Title: Lug nuts?
Post by: Shoooter on October 03, 2020, 11:04:37 PM
All the lug nuts local in Canada are sold out. What is everyone running? Is there a brand that is close to factory? I've been waiting for 2 months for my last partsfrom classics so I would prefer not to wait.

Just a guess since you didn't say what size, 1/2 RH ? Standard or Acorn style ?

I was impressed by the quality of Gorilla Lug Nuts I got for another vehicle..
  Much nicer that some I had purchased in the past

1/2"RH thread yes. I'm assuming the acorn style is what everyone uses.

The gorilla ones are the ones that are usually carried local but no stock for months. I'll try Amazon

The reproduction Classic Industries Lug Nuts dimple look like a drop of water on a surface. 

And not like a machined tip broken off after final machining.

Is the 3/4" factory size or the 13/16"?

My 1970 Challenger w/ rallye wheels has 3/4" hex size.  I believe that is the factory size for my car. Not sure if all Mopars had 3/4" hex.  :ohyeah:

 My acorn gorilla nuts are 13/16". I got a couple of open style at a local Federated Auto Parts. Can't remember size. Think it might have been 3/4" but can't find it now to check.
