Default lookin for lug nuts/wheel locks

anyone know where i can get some lug nuts/wheel locks?

do our stockies have lugs that we can transfer over to new rims?

if that's the case i just need wheel locks.

i was lookin at somethin cheap like the muteki 12x1.5 = $57

any other suggestions or ideas? the rims i have are hyperblack, so i was lookin at something either silver or black. the car is BCM

thanks

You can't run stock lugs on aftermarket rims.
Mutegis are a cool fix for $57.
Just make sure they come with a special key. They have to be a set of 20 with 4 locks.

ps the pitch is 12x1.5, you're right. Make sure you don't screw that up on the order.

if you use the stock lugs on an aftermarket wheel you run the risk of losing your tires. the aftermarket lugs have a tapered design to fit with aftermarket wheels and not recommended for stock. FYI.

oh and dont forget...ORDER 20 NOT 16..haha

i guess on the color depends on what kinda theme you want on your car, but red always looks good on a dark color. but you got hyperblack, it almost looks gunmetal right? i'd go with black or silver, with those colored rims.

Neither. They're both shi*ty actually.
Mind spending some more $$ for a higher quality set? These two don't even offer a security key, just a basic BS one that could be unlocked by most thieves.

haha^ he's not on crack..he's on aftermarket wheels with stock lugs.

it is not recommended to use stock lugs on aftermarket wheels.Also it is not recomended for using aftermarket lugs on stock wheels. potential risk of wheels faling off while driving.

as long as the lugs are tapered your alright. i actually have some gorilla lugs in the back and work lugs in the front, i had to cut the rears. they are open ended, if not the center cap wouldn't fit ____-ing spacers. but they get the job done.

No those don't have a special either.

xB2 lugs are not meant to fit any aftermarket wheels. -papo

i would assume that any lugs that come with a special key is good enough because you shouldnt be able to use a normal lug wrench for them without the key..but im just guessing i wouldnt know because i bought my tenzos and bought special lugs with them
