Six hundred bucks for a set of lug nuts? It's a wonder we don't see stories on the nightly news about infuriated customers going postal in Jaguar dealerships....

 

thanks for the info - have ordered them from Rockauto.

 

Read the last few posts to this thread; you may want to cancel the RockAuto order and spend a few dollars more for the Mitsubishi lug nuts from your local Chrysler dealership as these are possibly better quality than the generic Dorman items.

 

I bought new ones from Advance auto parts w/ locking lugs.....like 25 bucks....and they are flawless.....

 

Got a part number please?

 

Will have to look when I get home......I dont see what the issue is guys.....

Go to the parts store and pick them up.....

You just need to know the size....

 

12mm x 1.5

 

'Cause the closet Advance Auto can find for me is this:

at $3.99 each.

 

that sucks for ya...

 

Thanks for your cooperation.

 

The thread is 12mm x 1.5

However the OEM Jag wheels use a flat washered seat, MOST aftermarket lug nuts have a conical seat, including the McGuard ones I used with my aftermarket wheels.

Riski, Id be REAL curious to see if you just used conical seat lugs on a washer seat wheel, as it will NOT properly retain the wheel. Be careful with that, because they will eventually back off.

Nope they are just like stock lugs w/o the ****ty fake outside....and yes a typo on the the thread size haha......They been on the car for quite a while w/ taken them on/off a few times and never had a issue to date!

 

HAHA, didnt mean it like that,.....you can order them online though

 

Part number please (see post #68)

Thanks

 

Yes, c'mon and help out here Riski... Honestly, a proper lug replacement for $25 is the cheapest any of us have ever seen...Heck, even if it cost $40 that is still at least $60 cheaper than anything else we've seen...For me that will keep Olivia in diapers and formula for the week...so, yea $60 matters....

 

Just ordered 40 Dorman #6111171 lug nuts for my 2003 Lincoln LS and my 2005 STR. Got a good price at Rockauto of $108.72 shipping included. Bad to hear about the one guy who had flaking chrome but I need them and have had very good experience with a bunch of Dorman products in the past. They have a huge catalog of parts.

Update on this thread, had 3 trashed lugs on the XJR got Dorman 611117 at Carquest over the counter $8.22 each.

 

I have a 04 XJ VDP. With every rotate and balance for the past year, at least one lug nut wouldn't make it. So, finally got rid of them all for the Dormans. I ordered from Rock auto at $2.35 each in set of 10. Having spent $10 for each of the 3 lugs that were broken, this was a steal. With shipping I spent $56. I removed the old lugs and replaced with these and the wheels look stock. And not worrying about breaking the lugs was worth paying for a new lug wrench for the 21mm Dorman lugs. If you have an XJ, S-type, LS or anything else with the OEM Jag lugs, put the Dormans on and have the peace of mind that you or your mechanic can change your wheels when needed without issue.

 

We used these on Peter's X type......fitted perfectly, fairly cost effective solution and no issues.
