Best Lug Nuts?

I'm in the hunt for a good set of lug nuts, and, if possible, I want some lightweight, yet durable, and ones that come with a locking mechanism (similar to what we have). Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not picky on color (it'll just compliment my already-soon-to-be JDM rims :p).

Thanks in advance,
Kyle

ok, ill be serious. i think buddy club lugs are pretty good, and depending on which JDM wheels you went with, the manufacturers usually make lugs to go with the wheels.

or, you could just work toward 2,000 hp and buy the titanium lug nuts. hell, youre about 8-10% there!

in answer to both

1.yes, you have to buy 5 sets of 4. some come with 5 lug nuts, in which case: 4 sets of 5

2. i dont think stock lugnuts will even work. most aftermarket manufacturers leave such small area around the actual lug that "tuner" lug nuts are required. tuner lugs are usually much thinner than stock lug nuts. i wish i had my old lugs to take a pic and show you a comparo, but i sold them.

i was hoping you would catch on to the borat thing!

this site has a great selection of high-end tuner lugs. i dont think the buddy club ones are the way to go because they are extended, but youll have many different choices to consider on here:

Awesome, thanks. Any recommendations? And which ones (if listed) did you use on your rims before you sold 'em?

well i have experience with closed and open ended. the wheels i just sold i used closed ended on, and i think that it looks better. and the wheels i have now have open ended. what the big defferences are, i have no idea, but from an opinionative standpoint, i would say the closed ended look better. and yes, muteki is a good brand, and they keep prices down.

IMO, light weight lug nuts are BS!

They are so close to the axe of rotation that it dosent even affect anything.

It dosent realy matter if you get them lockable or witch any other anti-theft, b/c every wheel snatcher out there has a gator key, drill, hammer and everything else to get the lug nuts off. I know it sucks....

Personnaly, I have Spoon lug nuts! haha :p take that Honda! :lol:
