on this thing of lugs...do the tuner lugs have a special key so nobody can just take them off w/ a wrench or anything like that. (it is hard to jack them off a car if its sitting in a parking lot)
not sure about the tuner lugs, but on my lugnutss there really small like half the size of the stock lugnuts and mine comes with a special key in order to remove the lugnuts.

I wouldn't suggest any wheel lug where it's round on the outside and the actual contact points are on the inside. There would be some kind of method where it still could be removed, even without a key. If you do have a wheel where it requires these kinds of wheel lugs, I'd just be careful on where you park your car.

what in the hell? you drunk man? are you saying the rounded wheel lock lugs are a no no?

I was gonna buy some black 7 sided volk lugs but that was close to $100 for the set.

anybody who knows of a place to buy odd lugs let me know.

Wheels of friends of mine have been stolen even though they had these "tuner" lugs where it was round on the outside. Didn't matter what the design was on the inside. Thieves are resourceful nowadays. :angry:

For 100 bucks at that. The cheapest I've seen was for 129.
