Anyone find replacement solid lug nuts for the factory aluminum wheels? Impact wrench happy dealer completely destroyed mine. Those crap chrome nuts are garbage and want to find solid type, but a few wheel stores say they cant find anything that size for solid replacements.

 

Costco has a big selection, maybe they have them.

 

I dont understand how shops destroy the lugs with an impact. I have never had a problem with using an impact and causing damage. The key is to get the socket ALL THE WAY on to the lug before you let her rip. The dealer messed up one of my rims with an impact that wasnt used properly.

 

I would turn this problem over to the dealer who messed up your lug nuts.

 

I agree! I dont like paying for my own mistakes let alone for anyone elses! lol... Seriously though whenever I get any work done to any of my cars I walk around the car and inspect it with them and when the work is done and I go to pick up the vehicle I walk around it with them inspecting it again and have had dealers take care of any incidentals up to repainting the whole back bumper on the 95 Camazro Z28 convertible I had at the time because they put a scratch in it. (The Z28 being black didnt help hide the scratch to well!)

 

rockauto.com has them but get the dealer to pay if possible.. Cya Slick

 

id give you mine but the @ssholes at pepboys never gave them back to me

 

I have the Gorilla lugs on chrome clad rims. Seem to be nice and solid, my stock lugs were swollen and a mess. I ordered from Brandsport, link:

Dude, that sucks. You seem to have nothing but bad luck with the dealer.
