Wheel Accessories Parts 20 Dual Coating Chrome 12x1.5 Closed End Bulge Acorn Lug Nuts - Cone Seat - 19mm Hex Wheel Lug Nut

The title pretty much says it all, but I'll elaborate for the benefit of the hopelessly bored and any insomniacs browsing Amazon for lug nuts in the wee hours of the night.As with anything that hasn't yet passed the test of time, the five stars I'm giving to these lug nuts are conditional upon their holding up for, well, forever would be nice; but a few years at least. If they fail in a way that I manage to survive, I will come back and let you know.The reason I say this is because the last set of lug nuts I bought only a few weeks ago, which were made by a better-known company, were utter garbage. At least six of the twenty lost their heads upon installation or removal. (Well, technically they lost their caps, but "lost their heads" sounds more dramatic.) And yes, I did use a torque wrench to tighten them.I also should add that the last set were replacements for other lug nuts that had suffered the same tragic ends. Is it too much, I asked myself, to ask for lug nuts that don't break on installation?These nuts, on the other hand, went on smoothly and suffered no decapitations, which was refreshing enough that I decided they deserve the benefit of the doubt and the five stars. Hence my galactic generosity. They also were pretty shiny until I got fingerprints on them, and they seemed unmarred by the installation (other than by the aforementioned fingerprints).The most important thing you should know about lug nuts in general is that they should be torqued properly. My car has a spec of 65 - 80 ft/lbs, so what I do is initially torque them to 65 ft/lbs with a torque stick on an impact wrench, and then to 70 ft/lbs with a torque wrench. That way even if either tool is off a bit, I'm still within spec.The most important thing you should know about these particular lug nuts is that the hex is 19mm, as opposed to the 21mm hex on the OEM lug nuts on my car (2016 Kia Soul). The hex size means little other than that if you don't have a 19mm socket (or a 3/4 inch one -- the difference between the two is about the thickness of a human hair), then you should order one with the lug nuts.Personally, I prefer the 19mm hex to the 21mm hex because it was always a pain in the gluteus maximus to get a 21mm socket into the lug nut wells without scratching the finish on the wheels, and it was impossible with the wheel skins on. The 19mm hex is much easier to use.Another pearl of wisdom: If you have only the factory 21mm lug nut wrench in the trunk, then you should buy a lug wrench with a 19mm or 3/4 inch socket to carry in the trunk in case, perchance, you should get a flat tire.Other than that, there's not much more to say. These appear to be good lug nuts for my 2016 Kia Soul, and I'll come back and tell you should they ever fail. Assuming I'm still alive, of course.Richard

Bought these to replace the ones currently on my 2014 Chevy. Great price! They fit perfectly and seem pretty durable, but to be honest, I just put them on this past week. I will follow up with an update once they have been on for a few winter months.

product arrived quickly, easy to install,with no issues, great replacement for eom lugnuts which fall apart over time.

Although the thread felt a bit loose, there snugged up tight and work well. If you have stainless caps on your lugs you need to get rid of them and buy one piece lugs !! Don't be stranded because a cap is jammed into your lug wrench.

So happy I got these lug nuts. By buying this whole set cheaper and looks great all the way around.
