Keep Your Wheels Where They Belong with Dorman Wheel Hardware

If you’ve ever had a wheel pop off your ride and roll past you on the freeway, you know quality matters when it comes to lug nuts and studs. Dorman makes direct-replacement lug nuts and studs that exceed OEM specifications and are available for just about any vehicle on the road today.

Lug Nuts and Wheel Locks
Dorman engineers are experts at improving part performance and durability, so their lug nuts and wheel locks don’t just meet factory standards—they exceed them. Features include:

• Corrosion resistant
• Multiple styles including conical, flange, shank, ball seat, and ET/ultra-conical
• Coordinating wheel nut kits and chrome wheel lock kits where applicable
• Available chrome finishes (black, hyper-black, blue, gold, red, purple, ti-blue); gold and purple anodized neo-chrome; natural; and black oxide

Lug Bolts and Wheel Studs
There really is a difference between lug bolts and wheel studs, and Dorman makes them both. Found on many German vehicles, lug bolts are one-piece fasteners that go through the wheel and brake rotor hat and thread into the hub, locking the wheel in place. Wheel studs thread from the backside of the hub and go through the rotor and wheel, and are secured to the wheel with lug nuts. Both work equally well, it’s just a matter of what the OEMs used.

If you track your car and/or take your wheels off frequently, you can convert from lug bolts to wheel studs to make the task easier. You can’t convert from studs to bolts, though.

Regardless of which system your vehicle has, Summit Racing has the Dorman replacements when yours eventually rust, corrode, or become stripped. Choose the length and thread size needed for your vehicle application.

Summit Racing carries other Dorman wheel hardware including wheel bearing retaining rings, wheel hub fasteners for GM, Ford, and Jeep vehicles, and center cap screws.
