Noise... lugs. - Land Rovers Only

These capped lugs are driving me nuts. The weather has been really nice lately. Driving windows down, I can hear these capped lugs chattering with every turn of the wheel.

With the standard alloys is there an option of new lugs that would work? I may be over thinking this but just wanted to make sure before I changed over and or damaged the wheels. Steel would be nice and would like switch rims to black steel rims down the road as well.

Thanks,
Richard

You need to replace the lug nuts with new ones then make sure whoever remove your tires uses the correct size socket.
My tire store paid out over $300 to replace mine after one of their mechanics used an incorrect socket size.
