Alpina style lugs

Looks like they have a round cap on top, the original pic looks hex all the way to top.

Other than the dent they look identical to my eyes, are they not?

what is it they say... "if it sounds to good to be true"

The quality of the Coupe King lugs is excellent and the pricing is more than fair when all things are considered.

Plus, if we don't support people that are willing to invest their resources to make obscure parts available, well, you know the rest.

I agree. I will definitely be sending money to coupe king in the future. I just needed a low cost alternative to Alpina lug nuts. The parts I need cost more than that. Shiny Coupe King lug nuts on my car can almost literally translate into "polishing a turd".

Chris,

The Alpina nuts (not BMW oem E9 csl nuts) don't have the bump on top of the nut.

i have checked the link to see the nuts, those do not seem to have a cap, do you mean those nuts are the original ones ?

here is a comparison between two of the most common nuts,



to my understandning, on top, cheap repros from walloth and others, bottom, the real original nuts for csl mit alpina rims

IMHO

Steve,
The whole set-up looks pretty sharp. Thanks for sharing.
