I went with the one piece Dormans from Rockauto. Plus the chrome looks better the the dull polished look I think.
Do you have a link to these? I looked around their website and couldn't find them.

Those are both wrong. Please go to Rock Auto and search for the part number listed by JagV8. This has been beat to death on this forum and it is the correct number.

Do what tbird6 said the number JagV8 posted is correct. You will love the relief of knowing you will be able to get the lugs off without snapping off the cap. Also you might want to pick up something like this. I have one and keep it in my truck in the syrofoam section with the jack and it will be a lifesaver also since the Dorman lugs will be a different size then stock so your stock lugnut wrench in your trunk will no longer work. I have had one of these for about 8 years now and I love it. You can flip the 2 sockets each way so you get all 4 lugnut sizes. I have used this on every car I have worked on and still havent found lugs it doesnt fit.

Yes I will be getting some very soon. When I switched out my springs I thought I was going to snap two of them with the amount of torque I had to apply to them.

I think you got a little confused. Jagv8 was the person that posted the part number above. The part number is 611117. Just do a part number search when you get to rockauto.com and they will pop up. There will be a picture so you know you are looking at the right ones.

Yes, and we asked you for a part number or more information.. But you never responded back...

My Advance Autoparts and Autozone do not stock the proper lugs.. When I searched their site, the Dormans come up for more $$ than Rock Auto..

Nice !!
I ordered and got confirmation already shipped this afternoon I paid $2.61 each. i couldnt order my H&R springs cause I went over budget due to the cost of the lugs, (would have been nice to get them less $)
Thanks RISKI

For some reason they dont look good on your car man.....Maybe it is the color of your car....or just me....

You should of ordered black lugs.....

Lower it, and tint it and I think I might approve of the way it looks then....
