wheel lugs

Maybe somebodys been here before, not sure. I use an electric lug wrench to change rims, 3/4" socket. Every time the socket lug jams. Then I have to hammer it off and go on to the next one! Very frustrating! Does somebody make lugs without those chrome caps?

  • Yeah, make sure you are using a 6 point socket! I used a 12 point on my F150 with those dumb chrome caps on them and destroyed a couple of them before I went out and got a 21mm 6 point..

    Good luck!

  • Or your local auto parts store carries lug nuts, they are the same as the ones on autos/trucks
  • Trailer, tires and wheels sells all stainless lug nuts.... you will need to know your thread size... They are pricey, but i assume that they will not crumble
