30 second mod, no tools required - just pop it on the existing mounts. Don't know why I didn't buy one a long time ago ... handy to keep those grocery bags (etc) from flying around the trunk.

Where did this come from, I like it.

Redeemed my Ford Pass points for the black lug nut kit from Ford Performance. They were like $250 or something through the dealer, but that turned into $40 for me after my points, lol. Not sure if I wasted my money though, they clearly aren't 1 piece like the aftermarket ones. But for how much they cost, I would assume they won't swell like the stock ones.

Guess we'll find out. The regular Ford Performance silver ones are very highly regarded, and these have the same base metal underneath which isn't inferior like the stock ones.

I was messing around with a Civic the other day. He/She started puling on me for a moment around ~60mph. Kept it in 5th and caught up soon, but my car was feeling slow. So...I picked up a new license plate frame.

I should try and cash in my points for the Ford Performance wheel center caps. I want them but not at nearly $40 a piece.

They may not be any more resistant to swelling/deforming than the oem units, but two things really does these in over time:
-impacting with an impact gun when installing/removing
-corrosion

On the note of impacting, I've seen great success preserving stock oem lug nuts by breaking torque with a breaker bar on all lug nuts before using the impact to take it off the rest of the way. On install, let hit hit with the impact for a minimal amount of time, and torque the rest of the way to spec. Minimal impact time = longer outer sleeve lifespan

Oh, and those black ones look awesome btw

That's good for 10 HP right there.

yes, sorry to say - all those are is the OEM aluminum capped lugs painted black…. I would return them and get something else for your points…. They’re definitley going to swell, dent, and the coated surface will get damaged (cheap coating).

Get the Gorilla lugs, many have posted positive remarks about those as being the best choice.

I understand it has a swaged cap, but I can't really understand why they cost so much if it's just the cheap OEM one painted black. Clearly something different has to be going on here. Especially since it's not like the other chrome Ford Performance ones are overpriced, it's $12.49 per 5. $62 for a set, which is right in line with the Gorilla offerings. These are essentially $12.50 EACH. So where is the extra money going? Is the base nut made of 409 stainless or something? Is the PVD coating really that expensive?

I'm not too bothered because I had nothing else I really wanted to use my points on lol, I didn't know these weren't 1 piece tho
