Charlie's ///M Project Thread

Charlie, quick question. What lug nuts are you running again?

I'm getting studs for my birthday so now I'm trying to pick out some nuts.

My first set of lugs before the dealer ruined them were Work RS-R lug nuts. Mine were blue but with your Imola ZHP I would recommend going with the red lugs. I think they will look awesome...

They are M12x1.5 lugs

The blue ones I had are here: http://www.workwheelsonline.com/work...-lug-nuts.html

They're $200/set just so you know...

Damn, sex but expensive. You know anything about the Open end Muteki's? FCP has them for around $70

They will work but I don't like them because they don't come with locks. Anyone can easily rip off your wheels and lugs.....that's why I recommend the Work RS-R lugs....I like the finish of these lugs even though they are at the $200 range. For more you can go with Project Kics R-40 lugs.... if you're looking to just get the wheels mounted on your wheel studs then the Muteki lugs will suffice and still look great while not breaking the bank so to speak I have a set of Muteki's that I use only with my winter wheels for the ZHP

We should make note that if you sleep far from your car, you may be in trouble. I found some scary looking wheel lock removal tools at the auto parts store the other day; I think all you need is an impact gun to use them. I could be wrong, maybe it's air tools, but regardless, it's doable! That scares the crap out of me that they sell this stuff at the auto parts store, enabling folks to go around stealing wheels...

Luckily Charrie has two garages.

That's what car insurance is for BP.....if you think about it... a motivated car thief will get your car no matter what you have done to prepare against them....I've had a car stolen from me before....

Thanks for the input fellas. In theory someone can steal wheels with the OEM lugs as well, plus my car is garaged at night 90% of the time.

Muteki's it is at least for now.

Tonight I sourced this for my ///M from a friend (my ///M parts source friend)





Again....I got an awesome price on this Obviously, I will have this part cleaned up before installing it in my ///M

That is one beefy shifter selector.

Should be interesting to say the least
