Lug Nuts

Mini bike lug nuts have a conical or tapered end and are mostly used to keep the wheels in place on the hub. Check out the range of quality lug nuts at OMB Warehouse. A lug nut is a type of fastener where one end (the seat) is rounded or tapered, though the exact shape varies. Lug nuts fasten a wheel’s hub to threaded wheel studs on the vehicle’s axle, securing the wheel in place and centering it properly on the axle. The lug is placed onto the wheel stud atop the wheel, with the lug’s seat in contact with the hub. Typically, lug nuts are made of chrome-plated steel – the chromium granting corrosion resistance – but titanium or anodized aluminum lug nuts exist for those who want lighter-weight parts, typically for racing mini bikes. For most riders, chrome steel will do. The particular size and model of mini bike lug nuts needed depends on the mini bike model and the axle it uses. The correct lug nut seat depends on the wheel itself. Conical/tapered lug nuts are most common, but ball/radius and flat-seat lugs are also in use. While aftermarket wheels are often designed to match OEM lugs for a vehicle, some require a new set to make a proper fit.
