just the lugs themselves you could replace. but the threading on the studs will still be stock. you might look into just getting an entire assembly. why are you looking for added strength on the lugs? your not considering wheel spacers, are you?

no wheelspacers...I had a friend that had an srt 4 and the wheels fell off while he was doing 120mph because the lugs sheared clean off. And Im getting an srt 4 this summer, so i just wanted to know if there was any way of getting astronger hub assembaly or something.

^agreed, something was terribly wrong there. never seen any on any websites, but im sure if you search about you could find some stronger assemblies. perhaps they were not tight enough, overtightened, maybe even crossthreaded??? did all 4 of his wheels come off or like just 1? that would be insanly bad to have a wheel come off at that speed. was he ok? car totalled i would immagine

he is fine, but the car was totalled...it was on a dragstrip so he was goin straight and both of the front wheels "fell" off at the same time, so he just kinda skidded toa halt...he was really lucky, he didnt even hit the wall. BUT the kid was kinda a retard...haha, so he probobly did screw up the treads or something dumb...
