New Lug Nuts

[Jimwashington]

Has anyone found a deal on Chromed Lug Nuts? My rusty nuts need to go, the best deal I have found is from the dealer, but at $6.25 each I may have to wait for my birthday. I would rather not.

You might want to go to a local plater and have them quote you a price to have the lugs rechromed. Might be a bit cheaper than buying replacements.

I theory, I thought that if you were still under warrantee, they "ought" to be covered and replaced with the correct chrome(not defective zinc units) lugs.

Otherwise, I see them on eBay frequently.

Here are some new ones:

And this fella has used ones. The auction below says they are for an earlier model, but he confirmed he does have more that do fit the XC70:

... he also has lots of other neat bits from time to time, so check his "other items" :cool:
