Lugnuts
 

ok.. My civic is sad, it only has steelies and I cannot afford rims. I picked up a used set of honda hubcaps for it and the black washers coz my civic never had them, just the lugnuts holding the oem steelies on. I go to put them on but the lugnuts being tapered, pulled the washer apart and the lugnuts then fit right thru the hole.. Is there a different style of lugnuts that would allow my to put the hubcaps on?

didn't I mention that you needed the lugs with the O ring around them?

not sure where to get them .. but you need the taper to properly fit the wheel. the o ring then holds the hubcap in place...

or at least thats how they were on my car when I got them

Just run on steelies this winter....that's what I'm doing.

Don't be embarrassed by your steelies.:thumbup:

Re: Lugnuts
 

I have four nuts without ring's here.

I will sell your the four for $10 bux

The honda part you want is 90381-SV1-981

They are 5 bucks and change each at honda.

Well, like I said I got a set of these little black washer-o-ring type things, but the taper in my lug nuts just pulls it apart..

as to not being ashamed of my steelies, if they werent all rusting to hell, then I wouldn't mind..


And im cheap, 5$ a pop is not going to do. And i need a whole set perferably, or atleast 8, 2 per wheel.. that should hold it on alright if it has too..

Buy these four and you halfway there.

Might wanna check wreckers..

Most give them away for free..

:wink:

All the wreckers around here have thrown them out or dont have any, already checked.

Where you live?

North of Barrie. I checked Fentons, Tracy's, Locke's and some other places.. no luck anywhere.

Look like you gotta spend some $$$ for winter bling..

I dont have $$$.. i just payed tuition.

I've been there before...

:listen:

Get a spray can of black paint and spray your steelies = problem solved.

If they are rusty now they will rust again..

:D

i have the lugs with the crevice for the washer..... i took the washers off cuz i took off the hubcaps.. uhhhh maybe we can trade my 16 lugs with the washers for your 16 regular ones....but i live in cali.

FEDEX you just ship them to each other....

:wavey:

but you'll have to shell out some bling bling

Do what I did to my steelies. Take off your car. Clean 'em with a steel wire brush to get rid of the surface rust then get tremclad rust paint. Hey, it's your winter beater rims.........who really cares.
Looks far better than trying to hide rusty a$$ rims under cheap a$$ hubcaps.

ah.. but did I say they were my winter rims? They are my only rims :)

I want to put my hubcaps on, end of story. I already cleaned all the surface rust off 1 time, they rusted right back up. So I got some hubcaps off Gatherer and some black washers off another member on the board, now I need the lugnuts with the appropriate flat edge to fit my hubcaps on.. I will trade for a set of regular honda lugs!
