Question Lug nuts that has a different pattern for MRR wheels

dunno the exact term.. but where can I buy a set (4) of lugnuts that has different pattern than the rest, that it requires a wheel lock to open it?

I noticed MRR doesnt supply that..and the shop gives me universal lugnuts. i feel safe with the stockies but I am just afraid my MRR wheel can get stolen because no wheel lock is required to open the lugs.

you're looking for tuner lugs like the acorn ones.

I'm actually wondering about lug nuts myself. I just bought Five Axis S5:F in 19". Does anyone know suggestions for a good set of lugs with wheel locks? Do Muteki black lug nuts have the wheel lock on it?
Thanks

yes muteki's have a wheel lock on it. Depends on what kind you want and how much u wanna spend. From the basic gorilla tuner lugs, to anodized ray engineering lugs.

yeah its the 12 x 1.5 one. Open ended or closed ended its up to you and the kind of wheels your trying to fit it on.

I got mcgard closed ended on mine too.

closed or open ended are just the style, aren't they? depends on how we want the lug nuts to look from outside right?

I think closed ended looks better IMO

no some wheels require you to use open ended especially if there is a cap. If you use open ended on those you will not be able to put the cap on since it extends out too far.
