Lug nuts

Em370z · 08-06-2014, 10:55 AM

Does anyone know any good aftermarket lug nut that that would go with aftermarket wheels? Also that come in with anti lock lug or does it come in seprate?

I used these on my Volks. They are spline drive and include wheel locks for enhanced security - Amazon.com: McGard 65554BK Chrome/Black SplineDrive Wheel Installation Kit (M12 x 1.25 Thread Size) - For 5 Lug Wheels: Automotive

I was going to opt for a more "JDM" set, but the cost was very prohibitive and I kept reading posts about issues with the finishes chipping and aluminum lugs binding to the wheel studs. This was regardless of the manufacturer.

Morning Em,

The only way to be sure is to look at the wheel.

There's 2 kinds of lugs that fit most aftermarket wheels.
- Cone Shape
- Rounded Shape

I'm gonna guess yours are Cone-seat lugs. But can't be sure from here.

yah, hondas also use ball type. most oem use either washer type or ball type, it seems.

my G35C's 18's came with tapered type though.
