The splined lugs and the factory locks are what I used on my Razors. A set of 20 chrome lugs and key are $30 at Autozone. The same ones are around $40 at O'Reilly's and Advance.

You can see how small the diameter of the lugs are in the pic below...

Mine keep rusting on me... locking...I guess I change my wheels back and forth too much.. and I use an impact on them... I guess I need some that aren't chrome... got them at Autozone

bigpappy33 · January 6th, 2009, 07:58 PM

So those splined ones i can find at autozone? are there any special numbers i need to know like our stud diameter or length or anything to make sure they are the right ones? oh and do they come in black?

Edit: ive searched a bit and it doesnt look so bad with chrome nuts especially with the polished lip.

Jucostud · January 6th, 2009, 11:13 PM

don't get black ones... couple times taking your wheels off and on and they won't be black anymore. I don't have a problem with mine rusting. They are still new and shiny looking. Course, i didn't pay $20 bucks for mine either

. Well actually i payed less than $20, but retail on them was more than $20.

2006greyGT · January 6th, 2009, 11:51 PM

Well where the hell did you get them?

Jucostud · January 7th, 2009, 12:11 AM

Work

. Buy gorrilla brand. top notch stuff, gorilla and mcgard are the only two brands we sell at work.

texas_mustang · January 7th, 2009, 12:14 AM

gorilla ftw

NastyFX4 · January 7th, 2009, 01:54 AM

Gorillas +2 ..

I am with Juco and others here

Gorilla ~ set of 24 (so you have some extras):

Summit Racing

When they show up, purchase the extra-wrench option and your good to go for about $65.00

Been using them for over 20 years and ZERO issues of rusting, cracking, stripping or peeling.

HTH

Regardless of which brand you go with you'll need the 1/2" acorn style.

2006greyGT · January 7th, 2009, 10:16 AM

damn... another 65 bucks gonzo.... I should know better... but I really hate seeing those rusty lugs every time I look at my car...

Avengence · January 7th, 2009, 12:39 PM

I have gorilla lugs and I have had to take my wheels off at least 5 times now and they havent deformed, rusted or any of that stuff at all. I think I got mine for 35 or 40 from americas tire but it was thrown in with my DD bullits that I got for 1100 with tires.

bigpappy33 · January 7th, 2009, 01:10 PM

so i can pick those gorilla lugs up at discount auto or should i order them from summit?

Yes, Discount can order them, expect to pay around ~$40 shipped. I bought mine from a Discount Tire store and had them shipped to my door.

Gorilla Automotive 21183HT - Gorilla Small Diameter Tuner Lug Nuts - summitracing.com

would i be better off with those^? these wheels lug holes are deep and have a small diameter i dont want to buy something i cant use. here is a reference...

the diameter is a little larger than a quarter, and the depth you can see in the picture.

Oh and dont worry thats just dust on there, ill have them clean once i finally get them mounted

Emay · January 7th, 2009, 02:15 PM

Judging from your pick you'll need a set with deep holse in them, shallow would bottom out on the stud before snugging..

ToxicWheel · January 7th, 2009, 03:05 PM

hey, we can get them for you for about $1.25 a piece, plus shipping? give us a call (619)423-4407 Alberto or Daniel
