20lgt06 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i have my new rims waiting for tires and install + nicer weather, however would like to see what lug nuts everyone running Muteki, Rays,Godspeed, Ebay brand etc. I didn't realize Lug nuts cost as much as a tire. I don't really want to spend too much on them. Thanks in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm5094 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have purple lugs if you want them. I only ran them on my car for about a month. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h443/mwm5094/ea8a11b6.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h443/mwm5094/54be173b.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h443/mwm5094/f75e326e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 McGard. Two piece with a rotating seat design. Best one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutbackXT05 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I use the cheapy gorilla lugs from america's tire. I take them off and put them back on a lot and the threads are still nice and clean. Nothing too flashy but they get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soloz2 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have some cheap gorilla lugs on with my stock wheels right now and they suck... Are starting to rust and one is threaded off center. OEM are better IMO My good lugs are black mcguard spline drive. I do have a set of matching locks to go with them.

car_cursed Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Project Kics Neo chrome were the best I've ever owned and I will run them again if I buy a car I put aftermarket wheels on. I only ran the R40 as I think the longer ones look ridiculous unless you have to use longer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Those Volk Formula's are I kind of dig it. I'm using Gorilla Splines. Not flashy, got them for free, and they worked just fine.

charlie_sheen Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 are there any painted lugs that wont scratch/chip when you mount and unmount them. ive gone through 3 sets, and i havent experienced any, but i always wondered if the neo chrome would seeing as they look like they are about 10 coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Whats wrong with them? You almost ALWAYS strip the hex. Then you are screwed.

LegAC_GT Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The key only breaks if you overtorque it. Not to mention keys are cheap to replace, the locks themselves are not lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtbimmer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Lock nuts are a waste anyway. Hammer a 18mm socket on and you can rip them right off. If someone wants your wheels bad enough they will get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
