Anyone ever heard of Rays Dura-Nuts

[Turbo67]

I was looking for some orange lug nuts for my truck and the only ones I could find with my size were these from Japan. They are a little pricey but should look good. Anyone ever run these?

I wouldn't use them they are made from aluminum and copper it will cause corrosion on the wheel studs since they are steel.

Well that sucks, thanks for the info, I ordered them already, I'll try the anti-seize technique and see how the hold up, I shoulda just got some powder coated

Aluminum and Iron/Steel are right next to each other on the galvanic series of dissimilar metals. You should not experience any corrosion as a result.

Wrong those lug nuts consists or copper which cause electrolysis between steel. Also this is a good read and water will make it worse galvanic still a issue

As far as quality, Rays are top notch. I have ran a lot of their wheels and lugs on previous cars. Just like any aluminum or colored lug, Do not use an impact on them!

You have a valid point however the anodizing treatment is used to mitigate that. Mitigate is the key here, nothing lasts forever.

I personally would not run aluminum lug nuts for an everyday use vehicle for a variety of reasons; including galling or stripping when servicing, improper torquing during install, etc.

Wowza!.. That price is steep... So says me who spent almost $300 on MGP caliper covers.

Anyway, the link below is for lug nut covers that give the same effect as those Rays Dura-Nuts. Might be of interest.

Those lug covers look like they'd be a huge pita when you swap wheels.

Yes they do. You know its bad when they include an 'extractor'.

I have orange caliper cover too with a ram head on them, I think they will look sweet with the black wheels and orange lug nuts. Ill have to try those colorlugs if I don't like the aluminum lug nuts. Weather has been crap anyway so it'll be in the spring when I do this.

I don't know if it will work with truck lug nuts but I used cut up shot gun shells for covers on my VW. You couldn't see the color of the shells but maybe with a truck rim you could? Orange shells maybe.

Finally got them installed, they took the 130 ft/lbs, I wish the wheels were 17’s but I’m happy with the look, I love these Toyo’s same ones I run on my 07 Cummins

Look good. I’ve always like that color on the single cab trucks

Not to get off topic but when I saw the old post from the person with shotgun shells it reminded me of these that my cousin recently put on his truck...
