Steel Lug Nuts
Folks,
I need to buy some steel lug nuts for my 911 race car. The aluminum wheels have 60 degree conical steel inserts. So I need 14 x 1.5 conical lug nuts.
I have found these:

and these:
http://www.tulipcitywheels.com/tcwst...t_detail&p=310
For this purpose, are steel lug nuts just steel lug nuts and it doesn't matter which I buy? Or is there a reason to get one set of lug nuts over the other?
Anyone have a better option?
Thanks,
Scott

Hardened steel, the black oxide helps lubricate.

Scott,
You want a steel lug nut thats hardened steel and has a curved shoulder, not one with straight angled sides to ensure proper mating with the wheel.
I do carry German ones.

My wheels do not have the Porsche-style "ball" seats. My wheels have 60 degree "conical" (sometimes called "tapered") seats.
Do you have access to M14-1.5 hardened steel lug nuts for wheels 60 degree conical seats?

I have found no other sources for hardened steel lug nuts so I suppose I will go with regular steel and replace them sooner than I otherwise might have to.
Thanks,
