all of the quality ones r pretty much the same, just remember if someone wants ur wheels bad enough a locking lug nut will only make it take more time to steal them, but if you wanna be cool get the project kics neo-chromes, there shiny....and EXPENSIVE

Now with the tools to remove lock nuts out there, at any sears or other tools place, it is basically impossible to get a lock nut they cant get off in a matter of mintues.

Just put chaings and wheel locks on your tires whenever u get out of your car.

this is true but most random thugs that gank wheels will have a breaker bar and sockets, to get the key for an individuals locking lug nuts would take someone planing it and staking ur vehicle out. not nearly as likely as random theft

dude people can break them really quick now. There's one guy on hondatech or something. He got his wheel locked for packing at random places. And he just took the wheel out with a wrench or something. + buying 4 of them is hella expensive

not really... you've overlooked the fact that some are aluminum and some are not. Some good ones like Rays, 5zigen, composite, and black racing are aluminum racing lugnuts, while project kics are titanium (all very lightweight btw). If you don't wanna spend that much on baller lugnuts, theres brands like Muteki, Kyokugen, and Gorrilla that you can always look at.

anyways... I got some 5Zigen lugnuts... they're light and very pretty
