Review on Dorman 611-074 Chrome Wheel Lug Nut (Pack of 10) - Enhanced for Select Models (OE FIX) by Thomas Drew

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value at $1.50 per nut

This Dorman part number is for a pack of ten (10) M12 x 1.5 threaded hex lug nuts with 19mm chrome caps, 31mm long overall with a 60° seat tube angle. They are found as open wheel nuts on cast wheels from Chrysler, Honda and other manufacturers. These cast lug nuts with metal caps are unremarkable on their own, no better or worse than the OEM versions used on Chrysler, Honda, etc. The metal caps are usually left on open-ended cast nuts until someone -- mistakenly -- uses a non-3/4" wrench instead of a 19mm wrench. If a slightly oversized wrench presses on the hex corners, it will deform the sheet metal cap, which will quickly deform , if not instantaneously, will loosen and fall off.A fully cast nut will not fall apart under these conditions, but an incorrectly sized wrench can still damage it depending on the base metal used.s) Fall off the originals that came with the car and this product will not prevent this in the future.The product currently reviewed on the Revain marketplace does not have detailed product information, does not name the quantity 10, is incorrect, the shipping weight is 30# (multiplied by the weight of the 3# box times the quantity of 10 in of the box) and at $28 + $9 per hour the price for a box of 10 is high and a very poor W ert for a wheel nut.
