Anyone know where I can get good quality black lug nuts from that will fit the JK and work with steel wheels?

 

Quadratec sells black lug nuts for $1.99 each. Not sure if you need something special for steel but it's worth a call.

Thanks! To install those can I do so with the Jeep on the ground or should the wheels be raised off the ground?

 

You are asking how to install lugnuts?

Do them on the ground, one at a time. If you do it while lifted your tire will spin when you go to torque it unless you have someone hitting the brake.

(BTW I have officially seen every question possible on this forum)

 

I was asking because some say to do it in the air with the ebrake pulled in a star pattern. Like the tire shops do when its on a lift.

Anyway thanks for the response. Ill do it with em on the ground.

 

I just put a set on from Gorilla yesterday. The finish didnt scrape or chip when i did, so i'm happy. As far as i know, the wheels are still connected to the JK, so they appear to work.

When you put on wheels, don't forget to torque to around 95 and start off at lower torque going through three times in a star pattern.

 

Well the lug nuts from Quadratec do not fit a the lug wrench that comes with the Jeep. Too big. Anyone else know of any others?

 

Did you already get them? I was able to get a nice little folding tire iron that fits all sizes for like 10 bucks. Check Harbour Freight.

 

Yeah I just ended up going to sears and getting a socket for em. Used that with a breaker bar and torque wrench on them. Man were the stock ones shot. Tightened em all to 100 ft lbs.

 

Anybody know where to guy a set of black lug nuts that are locks? As in..need a key to get them off.
