Bluetree Neutral Newbie June 10, 2012 Share June 10, 2012 I purchased a black colour sport rim from LS tyre shop in payaubi. Initially they used the chrome colour metal nut to secured the rims. I don't really like the metal nuts as it look a but odd and don't blend with the black rim. When I asked if can change to black colour, they claim there a charge of $50 (total 20 nos) as the black colour is made of better quality and would rust whereas the chrome metal colour one would rust. Anyway tried to bargain for better price but not successful and purchased from them.It is reasonable for them to claim so and charged that amount for black colour nuts? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dllatimer Neutral Newbie June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Normal lug nuts cost about $30.00 for 16 pieces. Black or chrome also have, think you should tell the shop want type you want when you buy the rims. Item once sold, cannot return/bargain as this kinda nuts used already hard to find 2nd buyer.
