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:

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.

Steve,

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?

Not to be rude, but you are incorrect. My race wheels have 60 degree conical seats. Really!!

Sorry. I missed your reply and then deleted my post. Just trying to help, man.

Hey Scott,

Sorry sir, I don't have those here,.....looks like Bob's suggestion is a good one for that item.

I contacted the vendor and he does not have these in stock and cannot give me an ETA. A little fishy considering he says he has these made just for him.

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,
