After reading about using acura TL studs instead of aftermarket ones it got me thinking that I'd like to put longer studs on my daily driver/ street mod car. but since I dont want to walk out to my car one day and see it sitting on blocks, what are my options for a type of long locking nut that could not be taken off with a regular socket? or am I out of luck and just not worry about going to longer studs?

btw i would like to stay away from kryogens if possible
thanks

i also did search but couldn't find really what i was looking for

if someone wants to steal your wheels, they are going to steal your wheels..... unfortunately.

 

The only solution I have used is the McGard Spline Drive. Uses a very unique socket design.

 

i'd like to at least slow them down

as for the mcgaurd splines, will these work on longer studs?

 

they will work if there open ended. i dont rememebr if they are or not tho. kyokugens are crap and u def. should stay away fromt hem. the buddyclub lugs are nice, but pricey for lugs. there awsome if ur lugs are recessed into ur wheel a bit like buddy club p1/ kosi k1's since they are long ligs and can be threaded easily. but they wont help ur wheels from getting stolen. my advice-get steelies for the street.
