Somone Help Me Decide, because i cant lol -Lug Nuts-

I want to get new lug nuts for my coupe 19s that will flash it up a bit, and give it a nicer appearance. That and im swapping my 17s onto my moms altima and would like to use my stock lugs for that.

Hers a pic of my car, what would you all recommend and where to buy? I searched the classifieds, but didnt really find anything.

I use Gorilla locking lugs that use an internal allen on my rims. I haven't bought a set for the G35 yet, but i will. Al my other cars have had these. Keeps me from scratching the rims

The key on this set is easily stripped by a air gun. You need to hand torque these. I ended up getting a new allen socket after my key totally stripped on my old car.

I second the Muteki's. Equally as nice as the Project Kics but almost half the price. Ebay has them for under $100.

You shouldn't be using an air gun anyway. All lug nuts should be hand torqued.

agreed BUT most tire shops use an air gun. Just a part of it. After I saw mine had been stripped out. I started requiring them to hand torque the lugs.

Very True. I overlooked that as I always bring wheels/tires to a tire shop loose and mount them myself home.

Thats a lie... classifieds are ALWAYS listing lug nuts. you can almost get all the bigger names on this board's VENDOR site. Only big name this board doesn't have i think is mcgard. I just picked up a blue mcgard set. I might sell it... its blue kinda matches your car...
