My friend just bought a set of Time Attack CE's in 17"s. He's giving me the set of lug nuts that came with the wheels. I'm buying a friends used set of 18" CE's this weekend, and planning to use those lugs for the wheels. So I have a few questions:

1. Are the lug nuts that came with the wheels good quality? Or should I buy the set of Rays racing lugs.

2. Does it matter that it came with the 17" wheels, would it fit my 18's?

 

its just a lug nuts hey its free why spend another 100+ for the lugs specially the good once if it much your rims used it.....just my opinion and if you dont like it ill take it from you....

 

The ones that come with the wheels are heavy and look like hell. I spent $100 to get the short black aluminum ones from Rays/Volk and I'm glad I did.

Oh, and the ones that come with the wheels are interchangeable with 17" and 18".

 

wheel size does not matter for lugs. the size/shape of the lugs matter. the lugs provided with the Volks wheels are more than fine to use. the main difference is they do not require a special key to remove making theft easier. they are not the best quality, but they are free. if you want Ray's lugs, they can be had for 120 shipped from Steve@Evolution. he currently has red short lugs in stock I believe.

 

Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm gonna use the complimentary lug nuts for a week or two before upgrading to a better set. I was real worried, but since it'll work, guess i'll use em.
