Formula lug nuts - After taking out the cap with a hex wrench, is the inside just another hex or cut like a key? If it's just another hex then it's not stopping anyone. Either way I really like the design. I just wish they came in something other than a chrome body. Maybe a black lug nut body in the future?

will these formula one lug nuts fit the oem 18"?

AK,

Simply take your wheels off at night and roll them into your house; leave your Z on blocks so any would be thieves will be thwarted.

In the air? Eff that...I would put the .40 cal straight through his thieving little brain. We have a right to protect our property in Texas, even with lethal force. :tiphat:

You can shoot someone in the head at point blank range if they try to steal from you in texas?

Absolutely.

I have closed numerous thread due to "I can shoot him in the head or stab him in the chest" posts etc. Please keep the thread on topic. I'll delete those posts from my thread. We are looking for "possible" solutions, not shooting someone.

I park in a garage - but when I dont I make sure I am soooo close to the edge of a curb that no one would be able to raise one side of the car... Also helps if you turn your wheel ALLL the way inside :p

As of now, it seems like there is NO lock on the market that will help protect our OEM wheels any better than the nissan(mcgard) locks. the only option are for aftermarket wheels. If you have aftermarket wheels with a conical seat, and the lug holes a certain depth/width, black tops wheel locks AKA Eurolocks will work in combination with the nismo lug nuts with a 17mm hex head . Other alternatives are the KYO Dency 2000 Magnetic wheel locks.
