Hello
I have black 19mm lug nuts with closed tops on 3 wheels on the 2021 Transcend.
The fourth wheel was replaced on the road because it was damaged. The replacement came with unpainted open-ended 21mm lug nuts.
The spare had from the beginning 2 open-ended steel 22mm lug nuts.
Needless to say this is annoying
Does someone know what style of nuts these are? I'd like to order some replacements.
Thanks in advance.
Some backgroind on why I'm in this situation:
I've learned the hard way that you really do need to check the torque on trailer lug nuts often, especially if one of the wheels was removed and reinstalled on the road. I thought that was a BS warning, like your car manual's instruction to check your oil at every gas fillup. But it isn't
Over the last 20 years I switched at least 20×3×4×2=480 wheels on cars. I guess the air tools made me stop paying attention. Without them: you can do little more than hand-tighten the lugs with the wheel off the ground, and when you put the weight of the trailer on the wheel: my guess is the nuts shift off centre, and the 100footpounds torque is not enough to centre them back.
Curiously when I neglected to do this: instead of the nuts falling off, the loose steel rim slowly ate into the studs, while wearing off at the same time. You end up with a sort of giant baby rattler Lucky I eventually noticed when I pulled out with the windows rolled down.
