Look awesome, I like the flat top lugs, how much are they going to be?

I join with Bill and want to know about these lugs when you have them ready. They look nice!

I'm not sure yet on price as I need to see what the chrome will set me back.
I will leave the option to buy them as is and let the buyer do the chrome at $8 a lug.
They are 4140 steel with a RC Hardness heat treat

To duplicate the "production chrome" that the original lugs had, the flat faces of the lugs were never smoothly polished, only the crown.
So to be able to buy them from you un-chromed seems the way to go.

Silly question I think....

I thought that original BRM lug nuts were like a anodised grey steel finish, not chrome as these were only aftermarket ? Am I right or wrong ?

correct on only the tops being polished but either way the chrome was real thin.
Just the tops being polished will help alot with cost of chroming.
I do think these lugs would look great with the flat 4 brms
