    I bought a bottle of dupli color HIGH PERformance wheel coating(clear) spray. Anyone ever try this stuff? I also bought a bottle of clear coat spray. Would it be better to sand the wheel down, wheel coat, and then clear coat, or no clear coat at all? I found acorn locks on this website

    but I am not sure about the sizing for a 96 firebird with 16x8" stock rims

      If you search:
      www.fasttoys.com
      www.slponline.com
      www.thunderracing.com
      www.texas-speed.com

      I believe that one (if not all - can't check at the moment) have Gorilla locking lug nuts.

        That's what parts of my wheels look like just from the clear coat being worn away from brake dust and ****. I'll have to get some clear coat spray.

          I found this information about lug nut and wheel specs on a website.
          FIREBIRD Year:93-on Bolt pattern:5X120.7
          Lug Size:12mmX1.5 Lug type:NUT Center Bore:70.3

          Can anyone confirm on this info??

          The website http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=5&pcid=19

          has ALL different kinds of Gorilla locknuts. There's open and closed ends acorn, or open and closed end acorn bulge. Can anyone explain what these acorn "bulges" are and what open and closed mean. I just want new locknuts that fit oem style.

            Can anyone get back to me on the wheel locks. I posted info about open and closed locks and I need help on which ones to buy. This is the only thing holding me back from fixing my wheels.
