McGard Spline Drive Lug Nut Installation Kit -Lug Nuts, Conical Seat, 12mm x 1.50 RH, Tuner, Standard/Locking, Chrome Plated Steel, Set of 20.
When i ordered my 5 Motegi DPK 18"s from them, they sent me a certificate for $20 bucks to use untill june 15th, so i had to buy some new lug nuts since my old $29 dollar set from pep boys were turned pretty sad. Have a look see...
So i am hoping these new ones won't rust since they are spline drive...
They had a few other kits at Summit made by Gorilla or something but they didn't come with Valve stems which i needed... pretty steep jump in price for $25.99 Gorilla Spline drive kit, to this McGuard one at $75.99 but in the end i only paid $66 and change.. hopefully this is a good one. Expensive valve stems...
McGard lugs are the best on the market hands down. You made a wise choice on purchasing those.
yup mcgard is the best, not to meantion even better you got a spline drive kit. you'll love these lugs after using @!#$ty lugs. i have the splinedrive kit in black and i couldnt be happier. the lugs are easy to get off w/ the key and they wont rust
Ha ha... atleast for once i picked out a good set of something before i did research on it... lol. So taking the concept you get what you pay for really is true... lol.

Increase your hp to the wheel.

they're just a set of higher grade locking lugnuts to keep thieves off your wheels.

Oh and yeah the $30 ones rust like a biatch. I think the coating came off the first time I even tightened them with the tire iron.

Spline drive is the ONLY way to go, IMO. They don't rust, they're clean looking and won't strip out on you. But you really didn't need the stems, man--they come with the mounting/balancing. And if you really wanted chrome that bad, I'm sure he would've hooked you up since you know me.

not exactly. yes they are better quality but they arent locking lugs. they do make locking tuner style lugs. tuner style lugs are skinny than regular lugs to fit in most wheels. most aftermarket wheels cant be used w/ the stock lugs
spline drive is the best. They look good too. I've got black ones (motegi not mcguard) on my car. Look sweet.
