I bought green lugnuts for my car off Amazon (as much as I hated to do that). They are from a company called DNA Motoring... here's the thing, I got them and they seem really really light compared to the lugnuts I have been used to. They are 'aluminum alloy' on their ad. To be honest, after getting them, I am really thinking about returning them. There were 5 reviews, 4 great, 1 showing three out of five broken nuts on a Dodge hub. Opinions? Should I send them back or risk it? I'll link the item here: https://www.amazon..._s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'd return them and rattle can them that color. Having to replace the hub would suck.

i pm'd bandi and showed five mechanic friends of mine, three at the dealer I got to all the time. the general consensus was "I wouldn't use those..." so sent back to California they have been.

that seemed to be the general consensus... this car uses a goofy lugnut size, the same size the Cobalt used. Unfortunately, i can't find what I am looking for.

I'd hit up a wrecking yard and see if you can get a set off a Sonic and experiment with those. Maybe have them powdercoated?

I went to buy 4 15" sonic alloys for winter tires... the fucking wrecking yard wanted more for a set of used stocker wheels than I could buy a set off Discount Tire... I laughed when the guy told $100 a wheel.

i want four 15" Chevy Sonic alloys for snow tires because this car is not the greatest in the snow. It's the first car since my 79 Horizon that I felt I need snow tires for. I flatly refuse to pay $100 a wheel for something used. That's horseshit.

a quick search on tirerack determined you are absolutely correct, haha

I wish this color had been offered in 2019... I love it. "oasis blue"
unfortunately, in 2020, you can no longer get a manual transmission on anything other than a Camaro or Spark. Yep, automatic only for everyone.
