YES, I've done a search, just looking for some opinions.

I purchased a used set of wheels: HRE 446R
Front: 19X9.5 +22 Offset w/ 255/35 Pirelli
Rear: 19X10.5 +24 Offset w/ 285/30 Pirelli
They have a polished lip, and brushed aluminum center.

The actual wheels (Not on my car though)

I feel that the Lightweight Ray's Volks etc are too expensive, and that yet while having the miniscule weight savings, it comes with the cost of having a softer metal that makes it a lot easier for someone to steal the wheels.

Should I get long, Short, Open Ended, Closed?

Muteki or Gorilla in Chrome?
Who makes a good lock set?

Thanks for everyone's help and opinions.

 

i like the 5 Zigen lugs short closed in black chrome always rust no matter what

mcgards are guaranteed against rusting, they are IMO the best chrome lugnuts you can get

 

I think I am going to go with the McGard. They are chrome, Lifetime warranty, and can get the 4 spline, and one lock for $77.75 shipped.

That's what I have and I love them!

 

With those McGards.... how do you think they look on a rim? Is the "open ended" portion of the locking nut really that visible/distracting? I'd love to get a set of locking lugs, but they gotta look good on my new rims!! I just got a set of Polished Work Varianza T1Ss....

 

I have chrome McGards on my Work T1S's and I love them. I'll try to find/take a picture. I love how they don't chip or fade either.

 

I've had black Volk lugs before and the paint they use sucks. Mine chipped after taking them off and putting them on multiple times. I've also seen tons of red Volk lugs fade to pink. They're cool, lightweight, and JDM and all but I think I'll try a different brand if I go back to JDM ones.

 

Thats because they are anodized aluminum, durability is poor, but they are half the weight of steel

 

Have you looked into project kics lug nuts???

 

Yea, thats true they were hella light. But the McGards don't seem that much heavier.

LOL. I now understand that JDM lugnuts arent JDM unless you have lots of hot half naked asian chicks next to them!

 

that's what got me to order them

I'll let you know how they are when they get here, They better come with those hot asian chick baseball cards or that guy is getting such the negative feedback

 

Yea that was a mistake. By JDM he meant no name made in china and by black he meant spray painted to order. By $15 shipping he meant stuff them in a $3.95 flat rate usps envelope and pocket the rest.
