i'm going to get Volk rims.

so i need to get apropriate acorn/conical lug nuts.

what budget options are recommended?
i don't care too much about fancy colors - but Muteki NEON looks nice to me.

other not too expensive brands that i saw:
blox
nrg
buddy club
JDM password
bwr/BLACKWORKS
Skunk2
949

which one are safe and recomended?
bear in mind that due to drifting i mount/dismount wheels quite frequently.

another interesting option that i've found is "McGard 65557 Wheel Installation Kit" which comes with 16 SplineDrive lug nuts and 4 locking nuts in chrome/black/gold:



McGard actually looks the best to me but i don't have any expirience with splindrive lugs.

pls your thoughts.

Thx,
Gennady

 

Spline drive lugs are better than the old school hex key lugs. You really only need those if you get wheels with small lug openings like Volk GT series wheels.

 

Muteki, they're affordable & have lots of colors to choose from to dress your wheels in..

 

it's important to me htat lugs will be durable/reliable.

 

got McGard chrome "installation" set.
quality is awesome.
they feel really tough but they still much lighter than OEM.
80$ for a full set incl locks and valve steems is fantastic value.

 

I have had a set of McGard spline drives for over a year and have been happy.

1 advantage over most of the other tuner brands is the rotating base. It protects the finish in the lug holes.

Oh, don't get "acorn" shape unless you're using them on stock wheels. Aftermarket wheels usually have a "conical" lug seat.

 

Thanks for the info broski!

 

right - i forgot to mentions this.

this is huge!!!

usually only featured on very expensive tuner lugs.

i was very surprised to see this on McGards.
it's strange they don't mantion this in product description.

 

Oh, another FYI, but if you get the "wheel install kit" the locks that come with it DO NOT have rotating bases.

DOH, so I ended up using the "5 lug wheel install kit" on my 4 lug car and sold the set of locks.

 

i bought "McGard 65557 Chrome SplineDrive Wheel Installation Kit (M12 x 1.5 Thread Size) - For 5 Lug Wheels"

the lugs are with rotation seats.
not in the locking lug of course...
