Got my new ROH Snypers today, need help, come inside>>

Hey guys, finally got my new ROH snypers today from JDWHEELS. Only one problem, Kim forgot to send me lug nuts like we talked about.

So, now I have to get some, my questions is just that, what size (depth and all) do I need???

Thanks, pics to be posted as soon as I get my tires and mount them on the maro...

I would call this Kim person and make him(her) send you the lugs. When I sold a set of wheels, I forgot to give the person the lugs, so I mailed them to him.

I e-mailed her and she said to look real good, but nothing. She is not one to just not give me the lug nuts, however, I am under a time issue and need the wheels mounted and on the car this week, I just don't know if I can wait for them to arrive in the mail.

You can pick up a set at your local parts store. Places like Pep Boys usually have an application guide to choose the right one. They have a tapered end that threads on to the stud, if Kim can't give you the proper info see if she can't over night them to you some how. Last time I ordered rims from there they had them to me in 2 days tops it shouldn't be any longer for lug nuts.

do you have a belle tire or discount tire near you? just go get some free basic ones until the ones you are suppose to have show up. at least then you can put your wheels on.

I've worked at discount tire..chances are they are 12 by 1.5 acorn or mag style? Any autoparts store such as napa should carry whatever style you need. If it is a mag style you'll need to bring one of the wheels to use as a guide, so you don't get too long or too short which will cause problems. In a pinch I've used longer mag style lugs and put several washers. You just don't want them too long or the wheel will not seat properly also most mag style lugnuts Require using a washer between the wheel and lugnut. some close up pics of the wheel would really help.

thanks for the help guys...

I talked to Kim and she is UPSing me my lugs 4-5 days, I guess I can wait. I am just having no luck with ordering wheels for my car, one guy took my money and never sent me wheels, now I got wheels but no lug nuts in time for my move??

Well, I will say that the ROH's are worth it, they look great.

My tires will be in the end of this week also.

I picked them up off ebay for $180 total for all 4.

Sizes are 235/45-17, Goodyear's low profile sport style. I only run 235's all around because when I race I use 11" slicks in the rear anyway, and like a skinny tire in front at the track. Other than that I run that size on the street just for driving, nothing else.

Make sure you post some pics when you are all done. I don't think you can have any other wheel that looks better for the price. Under $200 for a wheel that makes a 3rd gen look like it should have from the factory. This pic is sorta blurry but I wanted to post something different.
