Saw these wheel lug guides on the forum and thought that they may be nice. I was dead wrong...These are GREAT, easy to use, holds wheel in place while you go find the lugs nuts and are exceptional quality, not to mention Fred at Reverse Logic is great to work with!!
I certainly do agree, have two and until I tried them out, I really hadn’t paid much attention to how little clearance there is between the wheel and the calipers and how easy it would be to scratch them up when installing a wheel. Had only taken one rear wheel off just to look and learn but mistakes would be easy to make. Fine product at a very reasonable price. Don

Can you provide a link to this vendor for the benefit of myself and other C7 owners who might have an interest.
I launched the female threaded lug guide tools a little over two weeks ago and just sold out of the first run yesterday! The second run of the tools is being finished up today so shipments won't be delayed. I really appreciate all of the customer feedback and photos that forum members have posted.
The tools ended up costing about 20% more than I expected so we are looking into ways to reduce the per unit cycle time. Over time there may be slight modifications to the design in order to minimize the cost so that I can maintain the current price point.
GM uses the same M12x1.5 lug size on many of its passenger cars. Increasing the volume by expanding the customer base beyond Corvette owners will help to reduce the per unit set up time cost.

My 3 extenders were delivered yesterday....nice high quality product and will be helpful when taking the wheels off for a comprehensive cleaning.
Great idea and you can thank the Corvette Forum community for spreading the word about this product. Word of mouth advertising is always the best testimonials any business can get.
The photo above also really helped envision the product and it's usefulness.

I agree. Placing my order now. Thanks to OP for posting.
edit: What shipping method do you use? Can I request USPS? UPS charges exorbitant duty brokerage fees.
All orders, domestic and International, for the lug guide tools are shipped via USPS. It's the only method I can use that allows me to offer FREE shipping in the USA and $5 flat rate shipping for Canada.

I just ordered mine. $45.00 for three extensions ($15.00 ea). I could have probably gotten away with ordering just two, but I figure the calipers I am not scratching, the wheels I am not damaging, and the threads I am not potentially stripping are well worth the cost...
