Default ONE RAYS LUGNUT FELL OFF!

I bought a set of blue rays lugnuts a week ago and noticed today that one fell off while I was driving! Is there anyway I can buy one? Also, I have these lugnuts on powdercoated roja formula 5 wheels..and it seems to be chipping the paint off the wheel..Is it because it shouldn't be on these wheels?

you need some kics lug nuts with the built in washer so the lug nuts dont scratch your rims.

Are they titanium? You should never use titanium lugnuts on the street.

Titanium doesnt hold studs well, and the vibrations will always cause them to come loose. I would never use anything but hardened steel for lugnuts, but thats just me....

If I had a race car, Id use magnesium, but not the "tuner grade" magnesium.

^ Thanks for the response.

I dont think you can buy just one lugnut. You should just put another brand on for now and keep your eye open for a set for sale that is missing a couple as they are worthless if you lose one IMO.

There's partial sets on Ebay every so often. Last week there was a set of about 12 after a guy took his 4 lug car to Big O and they screwed a bunch of them up. You'll probably have to pay 40-50 bucks though. good luck,
