IMO, the best lugs you can use on aftermarket wheels are made by Gorilla Automotive. This is the second time I've used them, and they're perfect for our application. The small diameter means there is plenty of room to work around your wheels without a worrying about chipping them. I also like the fact they're closed-end, so no dirt or rust will collect on your studs. The best part is the built in security. These are spline-drive lugs that require a special socket to loosen/tighten. It's not a hex bolt of any kind, so normal tools are useless on them. In effect, every one of your lugs becomes a wheel lock; I'd like to see someone undo them ALL and steal your wheels! They only cost like $40 for the whole set, which includes the key, and you can get them in several colors. The finish also holds up very well, with no chipping or otherwise after many thousands of miles. Here's a link:

Gorilla nuts!!

just what u gotta pay to have the right equipment.
imo worth every penny. i like the attention to detail of 3000$+++ wheels and their corresponding nuts/hub rings etc (all the rays wheels ive bought, ive also thrown out the extra $ for the anodized aluminum hub rings rather than simple plastic ones.
Where can you buy aluminum rings? The dealers selling Volks are all out of them.
