Tuner Lugs

[theskytraveler]

Ok got my 18's (gonna be getting the tires in a couple weeks). In the meantime I want to get some tuner lugs and locks and some valve stems

What do you guys think about these lugs:

they're alright. the finish on them get's worn out pretty quick and starts to rust a bit. i just found it irritating to use the key on all lug nuts.

 

[theskytraveler]

any other suggestions on lugs and/or valve stems?

Thanx

find some rays lugs, those look dope and will never rust on you. As for valve stems you could go to any car place such as advance and get some chrome ones.

the mcgards are pretty good... same as OEM, and they are locks...

Ok so I kinda did a search and what not and found some Muteki's So I am deciding on color

Should I get Chrome, Blue or Black???

Here's a pic of the black ones:

OR

what about these type of lugs from Zenki

Let me know what you guys think

I'll be putting them on some Hyper Black Stern ST-8s

i've heard tht the muteki strips easily... but also heard good things abt it... btw, do u just want weight reduction, or do u want a lock? cos the muteki and zenkis are not locks, just regular lighten lugs

I kinda figured they are just lugs and not locks. I'll be getting a lock for each wheel as well (which basically leaves me with Chrome as my choice in color because I haven't seen any locks in colors yet). Weight reduction is an issue only because I have 18's and don't want to unnecessarily add more weight to the wheels.

I was trying to avoid chrome as a color just because well they would look like regular lugs, then again I guess if they looked regular then I'd be avoiding attention to the lugs and what not.

Does anyone know of colored locks?? who would make them etc etc

Thanx

ray's make colored ones with a lock... but pricey tho

i think mcgard makes colored ones with locks... spline drive, like the first one u posted

what's the point of worrying about weight reduction if you ain't got a light wheel to start with first? what kind of 18in. wheels you got anyway? i got ray's lugs on my car with fake *** R1 Racing wheels that look like volks. i only got the lugs for the look and the locks(blue in color). worrying about lug nut weight isn't that big an issue. worrying about it stripping is.
