Got the Wheels & Tires (need lugnuts)

[SeventyMach1]

Well I've had my black Bullitt's (deep dished) for a while now and I'm getting my F1's today. The company that sold them to me (in partshopper on here) didn't send me any lugnuts. What ones look good on these wheels? I know someone on here has bullet-shaped ones. Where'd they get them? Also, keeping them on the car is a concern where I live. Are there any locking lugnuts that will work and look good too? The lugnuts are REALLY exposed on these wheels, so it matters to me more so than it would on other wheels...

I got the bullet shaped ones from www.wheelreplicas.com. They use a special socket so you shouldn't have to worry about anyone stealing them.

Looks sweet. Unique lug nuts.

I run the same Bullet shaped lugs on mine...they look sweet. Low50 had suggested them when I bought my wheels, so I picked some up.

Thanks Mike, exactly what I needed to know....and, well.... needed.

Apparently, they don't allow online orders. They're not answering either of their phones here @ 5:30, so I guess they're on the east coast, too. I'll try & call em' tomorrow. Did you have to do phone orders? I think I'm gonna get some Cobra R's or 03' Cobra's from them, too. (for one of my Ranger's) Probably the chrome R's. Thanks, guys.

Yeah, it's phone orders only, and I believe they are in Texas. You can try to email them to find out what hours they're in. [email protected]

Thanks, Mike. I also wanted to ask you.... did you have to flip your quads with your 315's? And... is you car lowered any?


Oh, & I just seen that you have 275 up front. Do your's clear very well? Rub @ all?

 

[1slow95]

I had to remove my quad shocks, but they were aftermarket ones so you might be able to use the stock ones and just flip them.

The 275's fit pretty good on the front. They rub on the control arm and the sway bar at full-lock so the turning radius is crap, but I can live with it.

My car is lowered 2" and I do have a problem with the rear tires rubbing on the fender. It's not that bad, I think raising the rear up about a 1/2" should fix that problem. I dont have subframe connectors either, so maybe those would help?

 

[SeventyMach1]

I was just wondering.... how do you guys think 255/40/17's will fit/look on a 17x9" rim? (for front)

 

[Nik_95Cobra]

They fit great. That's what I run but in a 45 series. A tad bit of rub at full lock but that's it. Here's a closeup.

 

[SeventyMach1]

Okay great... all problems solved except one.... does anybody know the deal with this company? I've been trying to get into contact with them for days now for the lugnuts, but they never answer. I've left them messages and I've called at all different times of the day. Where are they located? Are they going O.B.?

 

[CivicEater]

You selling those bullits?

 

[1slow95]

Sorry, I don't know how you can get ahold of them. They answered the very first time I called them, but that was a year ago. I did find some bullit lugs on ebay, but they are not locking.

Okay, guys... scratch that. I just got ahold of them and ordered them. Thanks for all of your help....
