wayno Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I bought these several years ago, I can't say I am happy now, but I have a set of nissan part # 43224-10W00, and I needed 12 of them, I bought them from the nissan dealer in portland, they cost me $22.50 each, $270.00 for 12 lugnuts, I must have been freak'n crazy! I also bought a set of rear brake drums for the same 3rd member, $240.00 each, and I had to wait several months before they found a second one sitting on a dealer shelf in some town in tenn/arkansas/kentucky.

jefe de jefes Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 2 dollars and some change is the most I've paid for each. I thought that was alot! Now I usually buy from the lug nut guy at the big classic car swapmeets. Dude has a gang of ish for decent prices. Quote Link to comment

At least you were smart enough to look around for a better deal, I was in the mode of get them while you can mode, that's how I ended up with the last two new brake drums in the USA, but that doesn't mean that japan won't fill the order if it gets one.

wayno Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I guess I should have metioned that they are huge(1 1/16"), they are castle nuts, and they are chrome, they go on the nissan 1 ton(actually 1700lb.) dually rearends, but I can hardly beleave I paid that now, I originally planned on having the 4 dually rims chromed, till they told me how much they wanted, $250.00 each to chrome them.

Str8_69 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I paid $12,500 for a set once, they came with a free car for my wife. I'll never do that again. Quote Link to comment

Radim Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Get wheels machined with an acorn/tuner lug seat... cheaper than 200$ and you can run aftermarket lugnuts... Problem solved! if anyone need the service in SoCal, let me know. Quote Link to comment

Great idea,but in certain applications-it's not that simple.My nuts had a problem,no after market ones had the right diameter and taper on the end. Quote Link to comment
