RARE Barn Find! 2006 H3 Lug Nut for Sale!

I was cleaning out the garage and found a super rare acorn style lug nut for a 2006 H3. Size is 12-1.5. These are impossible to find in this condition, has less than 10,000 miles on it.
I've cross referenced and determined this will fit all H3 & H3T years 06-10. It will work on torsion bar lifted trucks as well as Rancho lifted HUMMER's. Compatible with Adventure & Non-Adventure models as well, though Non-Adventure trucks may need slight modification and addition of Bilstein shocks and possibly a body lift.
This has the potential to increase your horsepower by .25%, which in the 06 model was a MASSIVE increase!
I've only got one of these, so the first to reply gets it for only $49.99 plus shipping of $16.12. This is below my cost, which was damn near $30,000 plus my Chrysler HEMI. If I don't get any replies in 2-1/2 days, it's going on E-Bay and Kajiji.
Shoot me a PM and let's work a deal.

I would have bought it, but's it's not powder-coated black - oh well, so the quest for the "holy grail" of H3 lug nuts continues...:gaah:

The only reason he is selling it is because it isn't chrome plated.

I have a bag of 27 of those. I'm already deciding how to spend my $1,349.73.

Good observation Dave - if the threads are stripped (and we can't tell either way in Twin's pics), then the lug nut only has value to a prius owner or to Kyle Busch. :giggle: More pics please!

Twin,
Don't sell it!!! You will have total sellers remorse and completly miss not having it anymore. Then you'll become obsessed & spend all your free time trying to locate a replacement to the point where it will ruin your life and even possibly lose your job and end up homeless on some Florida Beach looking for sea glass to sell at the local market just to earn enough money to replace your super rare acorn style lug nut!
I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN!!

Thanks for all the positive responses; I've got a sale pending on this, but will try to answer your questions in case the sale falls thru

While the black powder coated lug nuts are desirable from strictly a collectors view point, there was a mass recall due to integrity issues and they tended to have negative impact on other parts like tie rods, half shafts and bushings--especially in the 06 models. So the black powder coated lugs are best left as "trophies" on the fireplace or holding papers down. This one is the real deal!

HAD a HEMI, traded it for a collection of these lug nuts that had an H3 attached to them. This is the last of the lug nuts.

Port, if I understand you correctly, your bag of 27 came from an 09 model. Please Google this subject and you will learn that 06 was the rare year for this item. Unfortunately, there is no value in your bag of lugs. That's the problem with all these reality shows on TV, everybody thinks they have something of value.
Also, this is considered a "Zamac", or released prior to the chrome plating. While chrome would have been desirable, it was more common.

Please review the updated pics in this reply. If it would have been a newbie that made this comment, I could understand. But for you to question my integrity on the quality of this item, it really hurts. Of course the threads are crisp, and far from stripped. I've got an excellent selling reputation on the forums, please search my posts on "used wiper blades for sale, 65,000 miles" and "recycled anti-freeze from blown head gasket 06"----you'll see the buyers were pleased with the transaction and got at least 50 miles or more from their purchases.

I thought you might be interested in this Zach, but since it's not for an H2, and not black, that ruled you right out. Also, please see reply above regarding wrong year, plus for you, wrong model---you guys have got to learn that your junk is NOT collectible.
Please don't dilute the value of this rare item.

Thread shots as requested; no strippage to be seen. These things are as tight as a virgin on prom night---

Hans, please resend PM--nothing came thru. I've got multiple hits on this, but I'm holding because you were the first to note you PM'd.

Oh yeah, if anybody is interested, I've also got some really nice Sea Glass that I'm selling. The tourists around here just can't get enough of this stuff, so PM me before I head back out to the beach.

Man Twin, I'm not questioning your integrity and please don't take this the wrong way, but the lug nut in your most recent pics/post above sure does not look like the same nut in your original pics/post. The one in the first post is stamped "METRIC" in tight lettering but I noticed that the one in your later post is stamped more like "M.....E.....T.....R.....I.....C", in other words there is more spacing between the letters in the second one. It takes a very keen eye (which I happen to have), to spot a knock-off '06 H3 lugnut from those imported, backdoor Chinese knock-offs...close, but not close enough for the trained eye.. But, in any event, good luck with your sale. Who am I to get in the way of a true American entrepreneur! Now, if you happen to come across a real "trophy" '06 H3 powder-coated lugnut, you have my number and i will gladly meet you in person, in Florida, to give you the $5,000.00 that one of those is truly worth.
