539.00 for lugs? Is this a typo? Or is that really the price?

I have the money, but no way I'd pay that for lugs...

Stupid is right.. Wonder what justifies the price?

That's a decent price on those black spike lugs on the link I might have to pick a set up one of these days. Not sure how they would look on my novakanes tho

I know you guys think the price of those lugs is stupid but when you hold one of the chrome ones next to one of the cheaper Metal Lugz brand you will see that its like asking whats the difference between a Kia and a Bently.

The VV Concepts lugs are much nicer, chrome is actually chrome where the Metal Lugz look more like Galvanizing, the metal lugs after being hit with an impact, which i don't recommend, will rust in a matter of days.

There are levels to quality, and the old saying, you get what you pay for stands true.

Isn't the VV concepts the company that makes the lug nuts that look like bullets as well? I could just never bring myself to pay that for a set of lug nuts. Im sure they are nice and super cool but dang. I kinda want a set of the cheaper ones though. Can you not even take them off with the impact? I always use a torque wrench to put the wheels back on.

josh@thedieselcartel · Feb 20, 2016

Yes VV makes the bullets as well. 50 Cal they are called.

To be honest any chrome lug nut that you hit with an impact is going to end up rusting. I don't advise it.

A thin cloth inside the socket fixed that problem. Id never pay $500 for lugs either. I've had my wheels off plenty of times now and they're holding up great
