Wheel Lug recommendations

[I_M_Legend]

I'm looking for some basic black cone seat wheel lugs. What would you guys recommend? Will something this do?

What about cheaper stuff like these:

Thanks for the recommendation!

I ended up with this set as I prefer the standard hex type

Looks good. Just make sure the lug holes on your wheels are large enough to accommodate the lug wrench you'll be using or you might have to get a new socket. The ones I have two thin-walled sockets that are included.

A good read here:

Make sure you get 2024 or 7075 Aluminum.


Or Hardened Steel:

Or you can go Titanium:

I use project kics k40 I think now but Mcgard are good ones. Any ones with a rotating seat I think work well because you get accurate torque readings and also it doesn’t mar the wheels bad.

 

[stuntman]

Rotating seats shouldn't affect torque readings.

Rotating seats shouldn't affect torque readings.

Maybe it’s a placebo effect. But I’m more comfortable with rotating seat lug nuts and will never switch back to the others. The engagement is smoother and I feel the readings are a little better with the smooth engagement. My main reason for recommending hem though is for people to not damage their wheels finishes.
