Where can I buy Gold lug nuts?

Zombie1 · 11-16-2013, 04:18 PM

I've recently took off my VMRs to get curb rash fixed on one of them. I'm getting them powder coated. I think Gold will really pop on them so if anyone knows where I can get them from please tell.

That's not what I asked. Those are lug nuts and we use lug bolts.

Do a stud swap first then go with whatever lug nuts you want. I think Work makes some gold ones. I think R40 Neochromes are sexy but i'm biased

I would imagine the first time you tighten them the powder coat would chip off the bolt heads.

It will add a layer of material and thus change the size of the bolt plus it will eventually start to chip

An option would be to send them to a coating company like Oerlikon Balzers. I had the lugs on my Acura coated with titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN; aka Futura) (blueish/purple hue) adds about .0004'' of thickness, and is one of the tougher coatings.

Gold coating is titanium nitride (TiN) and will add about .0002'' of thickness, and provides substantial impact resistance.
