Hey, I was wondering what kind of lug nuts you guys rock and what are good lug nuts that are not that expensive(like the rays haha).

 

The ones they bring you from behind the counter at Autozone are just over a buck apiece and they work just fine.

 

hhaha not thoses ones like decent ones. I have the Muteki's but there really common.

What about them isnt good enough? Lug nuts, so long as theyre at the correct torque setting and the proper seat type, are one of the last things I would consider upgrading. They arent all that heavy, sure you can save a couple grams apiece, but because they are so close to the hub center, they wont affect rotational inertia that much, if at all.

When I had the civic, I used muteki, because they were cheap and I needed a conical seat instead of an acorn. Now, on the miata, I use 3 OEM lugnuts and 1 McGard locking lug per corner.

 

I use some German Lugnuts from AutoZone. Their Called the ButoLugs. I think it's pronounced "boo-toe-lugs", atleast that's how the employees pronounce it. They're nice and not many of them around so

 

thanks. what other lug nuts do people on ht rock?

 

im running black muteki lug nuts on my white slipstreams but when buddy club decides to bring more p1 sf wheels over here in a few weeks, ill be getting those and matching buddy club lug nuts.

McGard Spline Drive


The seating surface is a seperate piece, so they don't scratch the wheel during install and removal (if thats important to you) as they rotate freely on the lug, and the nut itself is small enough to fit nicely into most aftermarket wheels with small lug space.

Besides that, its a quality brand and a good (if overpriced) product.

The people who ask "what lugs?", want something more than the generic chrome Pep Boys lugs, and I think these are a great recommendation. They're what I run, since the lug holes on my 5Zigens are a bit small, these fit nicely, and offer a little anti-theft protection at least.

FYI, avoid the Rays Duraluminum lugs. The anti-theft "locking" nut is 7 sided, which would be nice if I didn't remove mine with a 19mm 12 point socket and a hammer when I lost the key. They offer no real protection, and are soft enough that I seriously question their useable lifespan. It was a trivial matter to simply deform the entire nut while lightly tapping a socket on them. Someone once asked me "No other nuts on the car are made of aluminum, why are your wheels held on by a set?", and I now agree. I was starting to notice them wearing out the threads after a mere 8 months of use.

 

RAYS fo me...

X2.

But if you don't like that answer do a quick search, there was a big thread on here discussing all sorts of more expensive lugs.
