I am soon putting on my Work wheels, but I'm curious, should I buy different nuts for it or are the factory base model lug nuts fine? I dont want the older lug nuts to end up damaging my wheels or something like that. Kind of a noob question, but I dont want to risk damaging my expensive wheels because of cheap lug nuts.

They should fit unless you need the "tuner style." But really, why would you want cheap and ugly lug nuts on your expensive Works?

If you can't fit a 21mm socket in the wheels then you need different for sure.Do you have factory open nuts or the acorn style?If you can't fit the socket get these.http://www.gorilla-auto.com/he...locks

I have work eurolines, cant see the nuts at all. And the nuts are not restricted at all. I have the factory open ones, not acorn.

Huh? I dont need wheel specific nuts, or whatever you are talking about. Just wondering if I should invest in better nuts. I dont want mine to do any damage, if that is even possible.

Aftermarket lug nuts that serve as wheel locks too (do all aftermarket lugs come as locks with their own pattern??) like McGuards. Gotta protect your babies

Looking into Muteki nuts with the key for them. Anyone know anything about these? I dont need anything fancy, you wont see them, I just want to know my wheels will stay on the car.

well bad news. I got the nuts, went to put them on, threaded one on by hand, looked at it, placed the center cap over it, and they stand too tall to fit them under the cap! Where I bought them from will only give me like half of my money back. I'm trying to sell them locally but the only interest I had stopped emailing me. I might just send them back and take the loss.
