Default Good place to buy extended studs and good lugs?

I have is350 wheels on my sc300 and the studs are looking a little rusty and stock lugs are pretty ugly. The stock logs are a little short coming out of the wheel and would like to get some slightly longer. I went to advanced by my house and they didn't know what I was talking about. They did have a set of 20 chrome wheels lugs (my wheels are chrome) with locks for about 54 bucks but I thought I might be able to get a better deal somewhere.

Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on some studs that will work for my car along with some new lugs either locally or online? Thanks!

Check out the vendor section, they always have lug nuts and I don't know if they sell extended studs separate but they have them with spacers

if you want good extended studs, ARP is the way to go. its about 40 dollars a corner. and a good set of lugs are probably gonna be 100 a set.

ichiba also makes a cheap set of extended lugs, and there are some sets on ebay.

Are you selling those or could you tell me where to get some? That looks about perfect.

What's the part number on the arp studs? I found is300 studs locally, but I'm not 100% sure it's the same part.

Wow.. those in the picture looks way too long... I installed one for a customer a while back (i do small stuff on the side). Told him first hand when I saw the studs he brought if he is sure he wants to put those in as it looks too long. He said yes so he insisted that it should be ok. Well wrong!!! He ended up having to buy open lug nuts just so he can drive home. I told him there is no way i'm putting the old ones back in as it is a pain. He agreed with it too as he was watching me as I change them.

Anyway, another 1/4 to maybe 1/2 inch longer at the most would have been perfect.

I have extended studs on the rear, works very well, specially if you're going to run spacers, I'm currently not running any but I like to keep my options open

well they would work with stock rims because the oem lug nuts are flat tapped open ended. It's just the aftermarket rims that require the conical shape open ended lug nuts.
