I'm an industrial designer. It varies from project to project, some are hand drawn, others are computer generated...it depends what the deliverables are for the project.

Orange 94 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Got my lug nuts!I'm iffy about Aluminium lugs so I went with these monster forged steel extended lug nuts.These are the titanium finish, more like smoked chrome though.There's a few I'm not happy with the finish, but they'll still look good.Overall they're okay, paid too much. They'll be nicer then my ugly acorns. Wish there were more options for mustangs.I'll install them ones I can stand being in the garage. Its very cold right now.

95riosnake Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yea 1/2-20 isn't usually a thread size offered in the cool looking lugs, I briefly went down the road of wanting nice lugs and gave up because I read mixed reviews on aluminum lugs too. I was planning to get the Monster lugs but ended up needing to spend the cash elsewhere first. Still on the list though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have spent double and gone with NRG, or cheap with sickspeed. But they're both aluminium. Just makes me nervous... I feel much better about forged steel. Unless I could get a big brand name, I'd rather stick with steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 My lug nuts are from sickspeed and I haven't had a problem yet. I may end up replacing them next year because the anodizing is getting scuffed from taking them off so much. The lug nuts you posted from Arospeed and Vision Motorsports look exactly the same. I'm pretty sure one manufacturer supplies all these never-before-heard-of companies. Either way, nice lug nuts you got @Orange 94Mind sharing a link?

Orange 94 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm sure aluminium ones are typically fine. I know lots of people with the sickspeed ones. I've just read a ton of bad reviews about AL in general. Aluminium does have different shear strength. I know lots of AL users don't torque them down as much. With the studs and lugs being different material it add issues with exapansion, I forget which has a higher expansion coefficient, but you'll either have them get loose or start thermal stress. There can also be issue with corrosion, two different materials in contact creates a nice battery.I'm sure AL is fine, but with forged steel I don't have any doubt in my mind.@WildWillyWalker I got them through us muscle mods. They're available in lots of places and there are a few more finishes then they have.http://www.usmusclemods.com/t/categories/lug-nutsThe finish on my titanium ones is okay. Couple I'm not happy with, but they shouldnt show. I'm planning on getting a locking set if these don't look like crap super quick. So I'll just replace the few I'm not happy with.Hoping they last okay, not like my car should be exposed to anything horrible.I should also mention that Monster is Muteki, which seems to be sold by lots of companies. Only negative thing I've read about the company is some of the finishes like neo isn't great.I'll post pictures once I install these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@CJPP Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Muteki was going to be my next option but I don't know if they make anything in the colored stuff for the Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange 94 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Very surprised to see these this morning! Last I checked it looked like these were stuck in ohio for over a week.Took me awhile to convince myself about a corner with amber... but I got chrome depo corners.I'll have to see how they fit, but so far I'm happy with the quality. The rubber is a million times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't want to give up my oem style corners with no amber reflecters, but got so fed up with the shitty quality. The depo seem to fit wayyyy better so far. The rubber is a million times better too.The corners look okay by themselves... but they'll really pop with the new headlights that are on the way. Hope the risk i took pays off...
