Spring is here, coons are in rut, time to check your studs 'n nuts. I got lots of nuts, way overstocked actually, so I'm going to ship them free to the lower 48 states.

Cost is $32 for a set of 20 Dorman M12x1.5 (OEM 3/4th genFbody and C4/C5/C6 size) open bulge lug nuts.

These are fully threaded, have high quality plating that won't flake off and jam a thread. They weigh 37grams each - and are steel - the only material that should ever be trusted to hold a wheel on, and cheap enough to life out every season or so.

I've got 15 sets of these, when they are gone I'll go back to charging for shipping.

I also have ARP studs in stock. 100-7708 2.5" long $32/5 pack. Buy the studs with a set of nuts and I'll do free shipping on the studs too

Got lots of these left - still $32 for a set of 20 shipped to your door. They still weigh 37.6 grams ea.

If your car is subject to tech inspection, the tech inspector will want to see the studs at least flush with the outside of the lug nuts, so these will work on OEM studs without spacers, or with the 2.5" ARP's with spacers less than 5/8" thick.

If you are using long (popular non steel) lugnuts and your studs aren't flush, be prepared to remove a nut and count threads engaged for the tech inspector, if he's not in a hurry.

The difference in weight from these (38grams) to aluminum (25grams) is 13 grams per nut = 65 grams per wheel. That is 2.3oz - consider that a big 'ol tire booger can weigh an ounce, and will affect the rotational inertia a lot more than anything at the hub.


20 nuts weigh 1# 10.5oz total
