Wheel Nuts with Fast FC04 Rims (Canada Winter Rims)

[SteveCo]

A question for those who have the 18" FC04 rims on their cars - do the wheels require a different lug nut than the OEM nuts that came with the 19" factory rims? Or were you able to reuse the existing nuts? Just want to make sure the mating surface on the rim is compatible, as one of the quotes I got on an FC04 winter tire package included 20 new lug nuts as well ... TIA

Hmm. No responses yet. Is this wheel Canada only? If so, I may move it to the Canada specific area where it may get more attention...

They are a Canadian manufacturer that has partnered with Hyundai and Kia (among other manufacturers) here to supply aftermarket alloys - not sure if they also distribute outside the country. Not a big deal - they have a distribution centre here, and I'll check with them after the long weekend. Just thought someone might have a quick answer in the meantime, as I know some people on here are running them. Appreciate the response, though!

My FC04 mags came with their own lug nuts as well as a wheel lock. As my mags are Titanium color, the lug nuts that came with them are black, which is much nicer than the OEM ones in silver. I don’t believe there is a difference in fitment though between the two. Unfortunately I can’t verify this as my OEM set of mags and lug nuts is in storage at the dealership.

 

[BIGRED]

I would suggest you go with the Fastco lug nuts that are specific to those mags, just to be on the safe side. Plus, I usually prefer to have a dedicated set of lug nuts for my winter wheels

 

[SteveCo]

Thanks! Good point about the color - black lug nuts would look nice on the titanium. Hopefully I can get an answer on whether the rim seating surface is compatible with OEM in the morning, just to put that to rest.

Nice color on the car, don't see too many of those out here - I'll bet the grey looks really nice with the red nappa ...

I would suggest you go with the Fastco lug nuts ...

That's one of the reasons I asked, as most suppliers I checked with didn't list wheel nuts specific to (or supplied with) those wheels. Should find out soon, thanks ...

Yes. I have the black FC04 18” and black tuner lug nuts. You will need them.

 

[AAQUINO11]

I have the FC04 in black in an 18” for my winters on my Stinger. You will need tuner lugs as the size of the hole is smaller and won’t be able to fit a regular size impact socket to tighten or loosen them

 

[BIGRED]

Yes, they look awesome! I get so many compliments on the car, as well as the wheels!

Great stuff, @AAQUIN011 - just the kind of info I was looking for. Cheers!

Here’s a pic with them

Gorgeous!

Black looks really sharp as well - nice car. I'm leaning toward the titanium on my white car, but it's great they have options ...

Here is a picture on white and a black with the bronze is nice too.

Oooh - choices, choices. Thanks for the pics!

For those who have Fast FC04 wheels in 18 inches, which offset do you have ? 30 or 40 mm ? I want to be sure to get the good ones.

 

[SteveCo]

I used the +30 offset, as +40 pulls the wheels inward more, away from the fender. The +30 visually looks more appealing to me as it fills out the wheel well a little more.

I have +30 offset on mine. I don't think the +40 offset have enough clearance for the Brembos

Bingo you need the +30 offset to clear the Brembo brakes up front.
