FS: Red aluminum locking lug nuts.

I have red aluminum locknig lug nuts (16 with key) that I had on my 93 escort GT. they are still in good shape, a little ebat up from a shop putting them on with a impact gun, but that look AWESOME on white rims (I had a red GT)

anyone interested just say something, I bought them VERY cheap at about $80, ill take 30+shipping. shipping shouldnt be much at all.

heres a picture of them, anyone want???

No disrespect intended, but $30 seems a bit high for lug nuts. Are they aluminum with steel inserts or are they all aluminum. If they're all aluminum what keeps them from stripping out on a steel lug? It probably is a couple bucks for shipping so that won't help out much. Good luck findiing a buyer. No disrespect intended.

Re: FS: Red aluminum locking lug nuts.

no disrespaect taken, but im not sure where $30 seems high, if you go to the dealership or any where, lug nuts can be like $5 each or so. and they were about $130 or so brand new, I got them really cheap for about $80 and now its only $30. I guess I could do cheaper, cuz I dont use them anymore, but I would like to see a little money back on them.

they arent just lug nuts, they are locking nuts, so it does add sercurity for your rims. and I loved the look of them on my white rims on my red car, so for me they added a very nice subtle touch to the look of the car.

they are all aluminum, so its really up to who ever is putting them on to make sure they only tigthen them to the specified torque spec so they dont strip them, they held just fine for me.

I havnet had the escort now for over a year and this stuff has just been sitting around taking up space and I just found it all again and im just trying to get rid of it really. so it just depends on if anyone is looking for a certian apprearence on their car.

I would have to agree. I bought my lugnuts with locks on them for $35 new. andwith them all scratched up... i don't think they are going to go for that much.
