Hey All - Need Lugs
 
Hey, sorry I've been MIA again. I had just gotten a new job and then it turned out to be only temproary. My going out now, even driving (using gas) is very limited.

Anyway, I think someone tried to steal my Volk TE-37's. They got as far as one wheel and 4 lugs before they got to the lock nut. I didn't realize this until I drove it one day and had a crazy vibration, low brake pressure and odd noise coming from the right rear tire. Turned around, parked and that's when I saw I was driving on only the luck nut.

I hope nothing is ****** up with the wheel or studs.

Anyway where do I get replacement lugs? I'm not even sure what size they are. All I know is the stock tire iron doesn't get inside the openings to remove them.

Any help is appreciated. Aftermarket lugs are an option, but I just want to make sure they fit and have some sort of an adapter so I can actually put them on.

Thanks and happy holidays to everyone! I sure do miss hanging out on Saturday's with you all!

Sorry to hear about that Lance, but glad to see you're still alive. Hope you get that problem resolved soon :tup:

Damn dude, that sucks..People freakin suck... I swear.

Yeah LOL! Oh well... I just remembered I actually have some tools and took 3 other lugs from the other tires and put them on the wheel missing them all. Seemed to drive fine, but I still need to order some lugs. Any suggestions? I can get the replacement black rays here I see: Rays Standard 35mm Locking Lug Nut Set - Injected Performance

They appear to be identical to what I have now...

I wonder if there's some other options that might offer some more security with a good wheel lock?

Lance! Sorry to hear that someone tried to jack your Volks. Those Duraluminum lugs that you posted the link to look fine and they do look exactly like the ones you had on your Volks the last time I actually saw them. Where did you get the originals when you had them put on at AAM? I might actually pick up a set them for my Volks.

Also, I'm thinking of investing in this: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...+socket+set.do

sounds like you don't need to be spending a ton of money on something like lug nuts.

Honestly, I have four silver lugs you could probably use, but I don't know if the stock lugs fit your volks. If interested, pm me here or email me, bud.

Correct. You need what's commonly referred to as "Tuner lugs." I've got several sets from multiple manufacturers in stock if you want to order some. If you order soon, I may be able to get them on the FedEx truck today. If you want to pick some up locally, just ask for "tuner lugs." If I were you. I'd pull the wheel off and inspect for any damage. The wheel holes and/or studs may have taken a beating.

Hey Jon, yeah nice! I'm probably just going to go with the standard black lugs that come with them. I found a place or two I can get them.

Hey Al, na, the stock lugs will not work on the volks, but thanks man!
