Just got my 18in Z06's

[2FST4U]

Puttin em on tomorrow and just wondering what lug size do I need to buy, there 18x9.5

[Chameleon TA]

Regular lugs will work, but I suggest you invest in a good set of locking ones. Look in the Garilla's, that is what I have. I made sure to get the ones, where everyone is locking. So if want to jack my Y2k's they must cutt off all 20lugs.

Yea get a set of the gorilla's. I got them with my Smoothies. They all match up and are og good quality.

Here's a link for them, might be able to find them cheaper elsewhere though.

Do not get these.

When I got my TA, they had a set of those on there (one on each wheel) and after about 3 times of taking the wheels off, the "key" started bending to the point I almost couldn't get them off.

Same thing happened to my friends wheels on his mustang...definatly wont be gettin those

I also bought mine from LMPerformance.com and was very happy with the service. Also I belive they have the cheapest price on ones where everyone is locking.

Thanks, yea the chrome was an easy choice

Wheels look good, I think the Z06's are one of the best looking wheels for a camaro, now just bring them into the wheel well. ;)

I couldn't resist either. :D

I hate when places do that. Wonder what would happen if you got a flat out in the middle of no where, how are you spoosed to get those lugs off with a crappy little lug wrench? I always take off and put on my wheels myself now, but when a friend brings their car over, I always have to break out the piece of exhaust pipe I keep to use as a breaker bar. It's ridiculous.

[Beastly TA]

[bRa_DeN]

[stavman]

:cool:

[bRa_DeN]

but i think the majority of members of this site understand the feeling:D

[LS1MONSTER]

I need to get some wheel locks on my new rims, I think that would be a wise investment.

[O1PewterWS6]

They'll just steal you whole car. Once in a shop, those locking lugs are easy to remove - regardless of whether there are 4 or 20.

I got mine brand new with brand new tires, lugs, center caps, shipped to my door for $1600. I had to wait for all the bastages to win a few sets on eBay. I kept fighting with the same people. Eventually I let them all win and then I got a set for cheap.

Here are my 18" Z06's. NBM Z28.
