We've just released our lightweight aluminum lug nuts. These are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and true hard anodized.
A lot of the lug nuts you see on the market claim to be hard anodized, but often they are not. Hard anodized plating is typically only available in black and a gunmetal gray/bronze color. If it's any other color, it's most likely not hard anodized. These lug nuts are much more durable and difficult to scratch than your typical aluminum lug nut. Price is $90 for a set of 20. F-Bodys use M12 x 1.50 mm thread. Available for purchase on our website here: http://www.improvedracing.com/wheel-lug-nu...x150-p-501.html Features and Benefits - Lightweight at just 0.88 oz (25 grams) - Machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum - True Type III hard anodized in gunmetal gray for excellent scratch resistance - M12 x 1.25 threads - 19mm hex - Open end design accommodates extended wheel studs and permits stud engagement inspection - Sold in sets of 20 - Lifetime warranty (IMG:http://www.improvedracing.com/images/products/SLN-125_5_lg.jpg) (IMG:http://www.improvedracing.com/images/products/SLN-150_1_lg.jpg) |

Not bashing the product as it looks like a nice piece, but is there a market out there for aluminum lug nuts?
I mean you would have to be pretty serious about weight savings to want to save weight via lighter lug nuts. |

They can save as much as 2 pounds of unsprung mass, which has a more significant effect on performance. Sure, it may not be noticeable, but it's only of those little things that can add up, and they look a lot better than factory nuts and don't corrode. |
