Default Volk TE37 SL lugs

Hey guys/girls I bought a set of Volk TE37 superlaps and they are supposed to be here in the next two weeks, these wheels do not come with lugs and since this is my first set of really high end wheels I am curious to see what type of lug nut everyone runs on these wheels.

Thanks!

I have the Rays Duralumin extended version. They are light but the anodizing comes off real easy. I had the Project Kics in the past. My only thing with those was they rusted inside the opening however I like the ring on the end. I'm going to get the Volk Formula lugs in the future.

I have the Project Kics Leggdura A7075 closed ended like these on my TE37's. They are 35mm and sit flush; so if you want them to stick out you'd need the 50mm i believe. Sorry about the low quality of the pics:

I used the Rays Duralumin 35mm ones. As ClemsonWill mentioned, they are very light but show scratches easily. If you want a more subtle look, I recommend these but no impact guns or air tools whatsoever. That should go without saying to avoid potentially scratching your wheels and lugs.

I just switched to the Project Kics R40 neochromes a couple days ago. Only issue with the R40s is that the inside does rust, however, you can prevent that by using a little anti-seize. They have a closed end design available called REVO that will eliminate this.

There are other cheaper alternatives if you don't want to spend much.

If you're a baller, go for the Volk Formula Racing lug nuts

high dollar wheels draw more attention from would be crooks...don't scrimp on the lugs. The locking lug keys are more easily available for cheaper lugs so i've heard.
