What tuner lug nuts should I get? I just got some wheels that say they need tuner lugs and was wonder what kind I should get to keep my wheels safe and looking good. I don't want to spend an arm and leg though. What do you think of these?

Lol

 

Buy ones that you like and will fit your wheels, other than that who cares unless you're buying something so cheap that they will crack and fall off under normal conditions.

 

If you want to protect your wheels, get some real locking lug nuts. Most tuner lug nuts all use the same key, anyone with those lug nuts can take your wheels. There are only a few that actually have a locking lug per wheel.

 

What are some real locking nuts?

 

Everything you see here are considered real lug nuts:

But in all honesty, most lug nuts are just lug nuts. Whether the keys are specially made for your lugs or not, if a thief wants to steal your wheels, they'll steal them. The gorilla ones you posted, are actually one of the stronger ones.

 

If you have to be concerned about someone stealing your wheels, then its time to invest in a better car alarm.

 

I wouldn't worry about people stealing your wheels, if you live in that bad of an area then I wouldn't buy wheels, or at very least upgrade your alarm system with one with tilt system and notifier and what not.

Locking lugs are deterrents at very best, a determined thief can get any set off no matter how "good" they supposedly are.
