Lug nuts for aftermarket wheels

[solidol]

I picked up a set of Work Equip Anhelos and looking to get a set of lug nuts.

Here is pic of the wheel:

What do you guys run and recommend?

Thanks.

 

[solidol]

should I just get a set of McGards and be done with it?

^^ No definitely not. Work wheels are aftermarket and an entirely different pitch than OEM wheels. You CAN NOT safely run oem lugs or oem style lugs.

Aftermarket wheels have a much different lug pitch.

Some people run expensive lugs but I have always seem to just run aftermarket tuner type lugs with a key which also helps for theives etc and they've never let me down, just make sure they are for the right appilcation...

My bad I pasted wrong link.. what I meant is to get basic conical style lug nut.. nothing exotic.

project kic r40s would look goood with those

these won't be exposed enough to justify the price/look.. maybe on something like rpf1 or smth

this seems to be more or less suitable:

Yes these would work... but be careful with overall size of the lugs. Sometimes you have to run the tuner-type lugs I posted because aftermarket wheel openings don't always have large holes.

"THESE LUGS ALSO DO NOT FIT ON SPECIAL WHEELS THAT REQUIRE INVERTED LUGS."

Once I get my hands on the wheels will measure the opening.. at least by trying to fit OE nut in.. and see what kind of size constraints will be there..

but yeah def makes sense. It's just with all those muteki/whatever brands I feel a little scared they'll come apart some day

I use McGard SplineDrive lugnuts (chrome) on my Work CR Kiwami's.

They are tuner-style, closed end and have the same rotating cone seats as the Project Kics (protects wheel finish).

yup, thats the one

Thanks. Just ordered set with four locks. (amazon has them for dirt cheap ~13/4 coparing to 20s everywhere else)

 

[myclue]

did you purchase that set from ebay?

 

[solidol]

No. It was much cheaper on Amazon. ~13 per set vs 20x at ebay.

Just to toss my $.02 in after the fact.

I've been happy with my Muteki SR48 (for extended studs) so far. They are steel, not Aluminum, so no issues with durability after repeated on-off and re-torquing (I track my car, so this happens frequently). They were also significantly less expensive than typical aluminum or "tuner style" lugs, and don't involve any stupid spline/star key/lock thing to lose or break. Lastly, I could get them in a 17mm hex, so the socket required will actually fit in the smaller lug wells of my wheels.

I care less about aluminium. As well as I hate that spline design (I know why they do it but for my needs I don't need it); We'll see I may return mcgards at the end. Only wish these would be available in silver (I don't like open-ended nuts for what I need them - not a track car/no extended studs etc)

Thanks for the tip. I like these much much more.

You'll need a narrow bore lug with these wheels. Here's a suggestion:

requirements...

It's just with all those muteki/whatever brands I feel a little scared they'll come apart some day

Muteki is a quality brand, manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries (who also happen to manufacture a lot of after-market JDM wheels along w/ many OEM automobile components).

Kyokugen & Motegi (analogous to American Racing) offer a lower quality lug nut in terms of quality & longterm durability.

Based on what's been posted in this thread, the OP wants...

- lug nuts for their after-market wheels
- "tuner" style which are acorn shaped (conical/taper seat) w/ small diameter (12mm) & 1.5 pitch for Honda/Acura applications
- non-spline design
- silver (polished/anodized finish) in cold-steel alloy, regular-length

I believe Gorilla or McGard lug nuts would be the way to go for those spec's, in terms of price, availability, and durability.

Thanks for suggestions. I actually looked at those.

Thanks for the information. Good to know about Muteki brand. And yes you're correct about those four requirements. I'm leaning towards SR35 in silver - ones I posted and will return McGards just because of spline design.

Will post pictures for future readers. Thanks.
