lugs nuts -ok I want to spend 120 or less shipped.

Requirements:
will not rust
enclosed end
16 of them
accorn/cone style (custom/aftermarket rims)
possibly black instead of chrome.

I've never really looked for locks/lugs, always bought the cheap stuff at o'reillys and advanced. Well last time it bit me in the ass and rusted onto my lugs.

I've heard gorilla brand lug/locks are good.

These are 55.00 + s/h

mcgard : (88 + s/h)



another mcgard : 77 + s/h

Nice finds.

Personally I would not spend much. I know on the Neon forums this dude spent over $100 on his red jdm tyte y0 lugz and they scratched up pretty quickly and the paint came off.

The ones you posted look great.

The first ones I would go with. They are cheaper and seem to be a flat black and wouldn't scratch as easily. I will probablyg et a set of those in the future when I put my rims back on.

I actaully was looking at the 88 dollar mcgards, the gorilla's have less spline on them. Also on the Mcgards, notice the silver parts? there is a bearing in there and that parts sits on your rims and doesn't spin (meaning no scratches) Now how well that works.. your guess is good as mine.

But then again, its not like I have expensive rims. Think I paid something like 600 for them.

But when you take them off with an impact or to torque them down they might get scratched up. I honestly do not like the crappy chrome ones that came free with my Enkeis. I want black ones.
