Default UPS sent me a gift ;)

I got em.






Now in about another week I will be putting them on.

Question: The lugs they sent for the SSR's are conical, which of course fit fine, but I think my locknuts are ball shaped. Do I need new locknuts?

Good question! Yes you need new locknuts, you'll mess up your rims if you use those conicals.

Ok. So what are the best locknuts I can get? McGard? Where can I order them?

Thanks

McGard and Gorilla are both good. Get whichever is cheaper. You could get them from Tire Rack, Summit, Nopi, and even Autozone and stuff.

Ok another question...

What size lock nut do I need? The lugs are 17mm, but for specs on lock nuts, I see 12x1.5 and that sort of thing. What does that mean?

12x1.5 is the thread size. You want a lock wheel lock of this size so that you're not cross threading or stripping the wheel studs.
