If anyone is wanting to change out there lug nuts like me, I found a coupon code for Rock Auto so you can get them for 5% off so you basically get 20 for the price of 19. Just put in this 35616652860293
into the how did you hear about us and click apply when checking out. In case anyone wants to get rid of those crappy lugnuts that came stock.

 

Thank you for the heads up Vance!

 

Good for others, but I just ordered a full set last week. Even at full price they're still a bargain compared to the OEM garbage.

 

The OEM ones drive me crazy only had the car for 2 weeks and I sit in traffic everyday coming home from work and all I hear is click click click from the dang thing. This is my first mod and will probably be my favorite so I can get some quiet time.

 

Before anyone gets stranded on the side of the road not being able to take your flat off due to stripped, stock lugs, do yourself a favor and get these.

Been there, done that...One of the worst experiences in my life, downpouring, in the middle of the night.

 

i ordered a set for my 07 s type which i traded it in for 2011 xj while i had it at the dealer cuz one lug was stripped and couldnt get off. while there i told dealer i wouldnt buy the car unless they could replace the OEM lugnuts on the 2011 xj because they too had the 2 piece crappy lugnuts. i was in luck the set i had ordered fit the new car. just want to give a heads-up that even the new xj has the crappy lugnuts. i ordered from Rockauto and one came defective and 4 others had blemishes...called them and they sent replacements free of charge and didnt have to send defective ones back.

 

Bull27, where did you get your "real" lugnuts? I had the same issue you did, but its was 7 degrees out and snowing!

 

The 5% rock Auto discount is always in effect. Just search for the current code when you order. Someone most always has the current code posted somewhere.

Vance do you have the direct link or part numbers. Oh could you post some pictures installed and off the car?

Thanks

 

The Dorman part number is #611117. You have to search the part number at Rock Auto as they wont list it for the Jaguar. Also if you get them make sure you get something like this. Amazon.com: Gorilla Automotive 1721 Telescoping Power Wrench - Standard Socket: Automotive
Since those lugnuts are a different size your stock lug nut wrench in the trunk will no longer take them off so you can throw that in your trunk in case of a flat. It will come with 4 sizes so it will work on pretty much every lugnut out there. I have the standard and it works fine on the STR. So it is your preference if you want the standard or thin walled. Will probably depend on what other cars you have in your fleet.

Here is a comparision of the stock vs the Dormans.


Here is the stock on my car when I first got it.



And this is after they were install you cant really tell except they are a little shinier.

 

I agree, the 1 piece lug nuts are essential unless you want your Jag towed back to the dealer to get the crappy 2-piece lug nuts off. Our Company mechanic says he has had to use an impact driver socket 1 size too small, drive it onto the fake "beauty" cap covering the real lugnuts with a hammer, then with the "Beauty" cover destroyed, get the lugnut off and replace it with a solid stainless or poorly chrome-plated single piece lug.

Be careful, serious corrosion after one winter. I have the same lugs from Rock Auto.

 

Good review from Bull. I was wondering how they would be in the north. It doesnt snow here so I wasnt sure how they would be with the salt. Good to know.

I was quite disappointed to be honest. Its not like I have any wrench nicks on them from rotating the tires . The ends (caps) seem to have corroded the worst, which makes no sense to me given that they were 6-7 months old throughout the winter months. Oh well...

 

Bull,

Perhaps your experience can be chalked up to the New England winters, or perhaps mediocre quality is also in play here. My Mitsubishi lug nuts purchased from the local Chrysler dealership in January 2010 have held up extremely well on our S-Type. No rust anywhere on them the last time I rotated the tires (not quite two weeks ago). We do get multiple winter snows here, and the DOT does spread salt brine on our main roads. But our S-Type stays safely at home during snow-and-ice weather. That could also be working in my favor....

 

My Gorilla nuts are hangin' in there just fine.

Gorilla make quality products. Dod not know they made nuts that fit our vehicles. May look into those. One freaking year and these Dormans look terrible. Mind you, I do not let the salt sit on the Jag, I wash 1-2 a week, especially after driving on salted roads.

 

I posted the part number somewhere on this forum. Basically they're the Lexus lug nuts that fit correctly. My car never saw salt this winter but it did sit outside in my driveway and much snow fell last winter here.

 

I found this thread with a Toyota part number of 90942-01033. The only issue was when I called the dealership, they wanted $7.00 each!!!!

I checked on eBay and found a seller who gets his lugs from the dealer. He emailed me and informed me that they are take-offs from the dealer. The dealer takes them off to put aftermarket wheel on the cars but can't sell them as new since they were on the car from the factory, so he buys them in bulk.

I will try them and report back once they arrive.
