i had recently lost my stock lugnuts so i went to have them replced, and got them from a local auto parts, well guess what got a flat yesterday and the lug nuts were loose. so i went back to the auto parts and they told me they dont make lug nuts for that car that will fit tight like the stock ones. fine so i call the dealer and they told me the same that i have to get them from Acura b/c there is a washer that holds the nut tight, so i order the lug nuts at a pretty Fvucking hefty price for 20 lugs, $100 smacks , now you know that **** hurts , so guys dont loose your lugnuts.

sorry for the long post i was venting . anyone have lugnuts they are not using.

 

Dang.......that sucks....

 

yeah who are you telling my face still hurts

 

By the way, how did you end up losing your lug nut??

 

i had changed my 16" to put my 19" on and that day i was in such a rush that i mis-placed the lugnuts. And right now there is constuction goin on in and outside my house, i i cant find them. it sucks man really sucks

 

Damn that sucks. You got a flat with the stock rims right?
Those roads in the bronx are a killer. I was driving on the cross bronx and major deegan recently and it was like driving on an obstacle course.

 

that's how they make their money

they break even selling you the car.

they make up for it by selling you the lugnuts.

 

Honda/Acura lugs aren't anymore special than the windshield washer fluid that they use. Discount Auto Parts sells lugnuts that will fit a Honda/Acura for a hell of a lot less than $100/set.

 

Try this people click here they should have lugnuts for our TL for a cheaper price. E-mail them.

 

go to your local tire store, not auto part store.

 

damn...a valuable and expensive lesson...

 

WOW $100.00 that is a lot.

This is how much the ones for my rims cost:

Lug Nut,Socket Acorn, Bulk 12mm1.50 .760 Head Dia.x 1.20"L 20

Silver
Ea $0.78 Total $15.51

Blue/Red/Chrome
Ea $1.08 Total $21.63

 

i went to few places and all told me the same thing, that the Acura lugnuts fit tighter than any other lugnut, to be honest i rather them be tight than loose and possible wheels fly off. you know

 

I think that is just B.S but that's my opinion

 

you could be right, but i rather be safe than sorry you know. i dirve with my girls son in the car and really dont want nothing bad to happen becuase i was saving cash you know.

 

Ummm washer? what is that all about?Too bad i did not know about this i have a bunch of lugnuts lying around from installing locking lugs.I could have given them to you for nothing.Bummer dude.Jens

 

considering you have them "lying around"...i need some ammo for my slingshot. you mind?

 

Got any leftover Comptech parts laying around? I'd be happy to take those off your hands for the goose....

 

Jens if you could that would be great. i can cancel my order, they had to order them.

 

I understand . I would have gave you mines, but I don't have them. If I knew they were worth $100 bucks, I would have kept them. Jens is giving them to you anyways. Cool Jen.

 

I'm going to them tomorrow too..if ya want i'll try to pick them up for u..Call me on the Nex and let me know..
