Clean up you lugnuts
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
sorry for the bad quality i used my laptops camera
just a few minutes ago i was board in the shop waiting on my PB blaster to do its job. so is a threw one of the lug nuts off the parts car into my sand blaster and cleaned it up alot after that i dremeled it with a brass cup brush then hit it with some Never-Dull
what do you think?
by the way the media i used in the blaster is light so it didn't round it over at all

Looks good! Mine were starting to get rounded from PO's using incorrect wrenches. I bought the proper alum sleeved socket and bought all new lugnuts. To add insult to injury, I then bought a set of wheels which have a cover that hide my new lugnuts, so no one can see they are "purdy" :P

Easy Off oven cleaner will strip anodizing. Just don't leave it on too long, because it can eat aluminum as well. Also be sure to wear solvent proof gloves and eye protection.
This will leave you with a factory smooth surface to polish.

i might give that a shot just to see what ones look better
If any body wants there lugs sand blasted and dont know anybody that can do it ill do it for free if you pay for the shipping. Just throwing it out there, i bet shipping would be cheap. guessing 8 bucks or so "round trip"

They look good
Can anyone tell me if those factory lug nuts will work with an aftermarket wheel? I have some aftermarket wheels on mine and they have aluminum lug nuts. They're all cross threaded and jacked up so I was thinking about getting some of the factory steel ones. I guess the only thing to worry about would be the length of the nut.
