I was driving to school today and had only left my driveway before having to stop and check my wheels because there was subtle rattle. After seeing nothing I assumed it was just my exhaust because it has rattled ever since I bought the car. All of the sudden while going downhill the rattle got incredibly loud and violent so I pulled over at the next gas station to see what was wrong. I checked all 4 wheels to see if they were flat when I got to the rear right wheel I noticed that two of my lug nuts were gone and a third was nearly off. I took one from my left wheel and made it at least 4 and 4 for now but now I need some good lug nut replacement recommendations that will fit the AP1 wheels. Also should I replace all of the lug nuts because I just had the lug nuts and wheels powder coated and don't know if the powder coat is making them loose or not fit right?

 

These or any ball seat 12 x 1.5 lug nuts will work. You can probably buy them from an auto parts store. I am assuming you have OEM wheels.

Is there powder coat on the ball of the lug nuts and the seat on the wheels? If so, I would strip those areas back to metal for a better mating surface. Also strip the powder coat from the back of the wheel where it mates to the hub.

 

As already stated above any ball seat 12x1.5 lug nut will do. No "tuner" lug nuts on oem wheels. If you don't want the standard lug nuts you could always get the darker CR lugs.
