For those of you with aftermarket rims...

Did you change all your lug nuts? or did you just get 4 security lugs?

I think 240sx SE lug size 12*1.25... Would any shape with that size do?

What's a good security lug nut to get?

Thanx!

Gorilla or McGard make almost all the locks on the market, and with the massive differeneces in wheel designs, there are many different styles of lug nuts. OEM nuts won't fit a wheel that requires spline drive tuner lugs. Get what fits your wheel + 1 set of locks

Run over to Discount Tire, they have nice tuner lugs with a key that's universal to all the lugs they sell of that brand. Then buy a set of 4 lock nuts with another key. That's what I did.

Something like that?

What's the difference between all these shapes of tuner lugs (acorn,shank,conical,open-end,close-end,etc)?

Thanks guys!

I have a set of chrome spline-drives for sale with key, that fit most tuner rims...

Only have 16 though, so 5-luggers are out.
