^^You sir are correct. I do HIGHLY recommend getting Project Kics. Best lug nut ever! Due to the fact that it's on a bearing allowing the wheels finish not to get messed up every time you tighten your lug nuts.

The lug nut size is 12x1.5 like mindf stated.
iSuxel recommends some Project Kicks, but thats if you are ballin out of control like him.
Heard Rays and Works are nice too.

I've never seen a place have more lugz then this online store:

http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...tegory_Code=L1


Or you can get McGard Spline Drive lugz which like iSuxeL said, don't scratch up your wheels finish, and they are less then half the price of Project Kicks too

http://www.summitracing.com/search/B.../?autoview=sku

Those are what I just got for my new wheels.

EDIT: whatever you get, get anodized lugz NOT painted! Painted ones scrach/chip easy and rust. Anodized don't.

Is this any good?

Muteki SR35 Lug Nuts - Black (Closed Ended) ...price is very attractive...


Or do I just settle for this since I have work wheels too?

Work Lug Nuts - Black
Muteki's are painted and will rust quick. Go anodized (WORK)
