You should be able to set up a dispute through Amazon, or your credit card co.

Even at $60 you still got ripped off even if they are real. I crack up everytime i see people spending all this money on lugnuts. I run 3 piece forged wheels on every car I own and I have never in my life spent over $20 on lugs. Thats just full retard right there.

Amazon has great deals on car parts.....you just have to know what you are looking for. Same thing as eBay....I always get name brand parts on eBay from well known stores. Easy money saver.

It's not full retard if that is what the person prefers. It's an easy way to put a nice touch on your wheel setup.

I've bought one set of cheap lug nuts (which were $30 at Autozone....so you must get a back door deal). Regular plain Jane chrome OEM looking lug nuts. After a while they weren't so chrome and they were peeling......guess what? I needed new ones.....welp now I spent $40 on some cheapy lug nuts.


OP $350 is way more than I'd spend (I currently have some $120 Project Mu's) but if that's what you like go for it I definitely agree that you should have known though lol And no you will not die from the $60 ones.

Can anyone explain to me in common sense how these small parts can cost $350? Is "JDM" tag the reason why or are they made out of gold, diamond??

Now, even if the cost is justified, why would you burn money like that? Only for a "nice touch" with no performance increase?

If you have the money why not?

Why would anyone spend $600 on a steering wheel? Or $400 for some visors? Or $200 for a Juntion Produce Fusa? Or $7k on some wheels?

Because to the people that want it...it is worth it.

Well the kics I had were the short end version. The top part is made so when you over torque they don't snap off like cheap ones. Compare other to like volk these are better weight then the volk lug nut. I had mine for 4yrs and when I sold then I got half my money back. I paid like $200 back then.
