Hello Folks, Some weeks ago several Listees on both lists asked me to locate a source for a less expensive aftermarket alternative to the factory alloy wheel lugnuts. I found a supplier. Unfortunately, due to the low profit margin at these prices, they prefer to sell in lots of 100. So here's the scoop. I paid for the first 100. Considering Syncros take 20 and 2WD's take ten, it shouldn't take too long to deplete the supply. Please pmail me if you are interested in a set and want to see a pic. These are not the same but similar to the factory lugnuts. They sell for $2 each in sets of ten (10 x$2 = $20). If you already contacted me about this in the past, please remind me. There are also six (6) sets of lugbolts suitable for 2wd front wheel applications. They require a special wrench (one included for each set of ten lugbolts) and do not have a hex head. They are not sure if they will have any more of these. For the moment this is it. These are galvanized rather than chrome plated like the lugnuts. I don't have the pricing on these yet. Pmail me if interested. I am passing this on to you at my cost plus shipping to your location. Local pick-up is available in the SF Bay Area. OK, back to sleep. BenT |
