which lug nuts to use...

determined · 07-11-2006, 05:40 PM

so i purchased some 18x9 (front) & 18x10 (rear) black deep dish rims and was wondering what type of lug nuts i should use for them...will locking chrome ones look okay/is the locking part even really necessary?...should i use the factory lugs?...or do they make black ones to go along with the black rims?...thx

peace

factory ones suck and you are bound to break the key someday. I have the locking ones.

Not true, my rich a$$ friend has a 2005 M3 that was valued at $90K. He had $9K dollar rims in his M3 and he had them locked on. It was stolen and when they recovered it the rims were smashed from a hammer because the people who stole the car couldn't get the rims off.
