Default 996 lug nuts value

I rescently purchased some Turbo twist for the 928. They came with the full set of studded lugs. Are they worth anything or does anyone need them?

I just got my 996 and the lug bolts are all rusty. Don't know what they are worth, but let me know what you want for them.

I will get a pic of them on Sat. and post. I have no need for them so hopefully they are in good shape for you to use.

Are there different kinds of lug nuts? It seems all 996s have rusted ones, i didn't have this problem with my 964, they just look like low quality lug nuts to me.
My friends celica has nicer lug nuts and they were $2.00 each......$12.00 for rust prone lug nuts is crazy.

I have had my car for almost 12 years now and have never had a problem with rust in the lugs bolts, and that is with Chicago winters. I do use anti-seize on the threads.

Dharn, that's strange to hear. My car is about the same age and I find I have to sand and reprint mine every few years to keep them looking good. I actually just finished this project today actually.
