Question Lugnut question

Hey guys! So as you know, I made my lugnuts black with cheap 7 buck vinyl last summer. Well after a harsh winter & being messed around with taking the wheels on & off, the vinyl is dying & even though people say they dont notice, its starting to look tacky & cheap. I've been wanting to buy real black lugnuts for a while & I think I finally found some. But I need to know what type of lugnuts we have

This is the part that is confusing me. Do we have acorn ones or do we have the ball seat lugnuts?



Here is a pic of the nuts. I think they will look even better then my vinyl ones. The only part that worries me is the fact that they are black chrome which means that they will be shinier then the matte black vinyl I have on them now that look oh so good!


Any help will be appreciated. I just wanna make 100% sure that these are the right ones before I order them. I thought they were right but then I started second guessing when I saw the seat stuff

Here is the link to the lugnuts I'm thinking of buying if they are the right size & everything

Brittany - I just did a quick parts search online. It showed direct fit replacement lug nuts for my '02 with a 60 degree seat angle.

Just pull one off and have a look at it. Those are gonna look great, now you need a soft lined lug wrench.

Mind if I steal your thread since you had your problem resolved? Lugnuts were an issue that I have been meaning to deal with but never got around to it. The stock lugnuts on my stock wheels are hideous (to say the least) and now that I'm running my summer rims and using the stock lugs, they are gross and go really far into the rim. I would love to get a proper set that will show and be nice looking.

Would I look for something that Brittany is purchasing (obviously the black wouldn't look good for me, maybe a chrome plated one?)

I really do need to get a nice set of lugs for these rims.

My whole thing was knowing the length of the stud I guess so that they sit flush but also cover the whole stud.

Chibi a tire store should have several in stock that you could try out and see what looks good.
