Are these the correct chrome lug nuts for magnum wheels?

Nope....nice but not correct....supposedly the "pimple" style nut is the "correct" one.

You never took the wheels off your car yet to realize there was left & right hand threads?  :scratchchin:



Mike over @ BE/A sells these with the correct "L" stamping to denote the LH thread nut....10 of each (L&R) for $95....also sells 20 RH ones for $70

I knew you would ask that. Yeah I've removed my tires. Just never noticed. So wait. They tighten cw on one side and ccw on the other?
I don't  remember R&L. Is it possible mine were changed over to R on both sides?

You'd know if you had left hand threads on the left side as turning to the left they would tighten. :Twocents:

Most people change to right hand thread, less confusion. If you ever take it to a garage i bet they will Fu#k it up.

Yeah, if I had left threads I'd remember.  I removed all 4 wheels with my electric gun and I don't remember having to use reverse to remove one side?
That's why I wasn't aware about the R and L.  Problem now is when I replace them I need all Right thread.

Thats not a problem at all since RH thread nuts are readily available.....the LH thread ones were unavailable till recently...
