Opinions on them? do any come with better security then just having 2 extra sides that you can probably take of easily anyway?

crap that image wasnt as big as i thought it would be

If they are open ended, then they are not Rays. But regardless long, short, open ended or closed, three things to watch out:

1) colour will fade
2) use hand torque wrench
3) apply anti seize when using it against steel wheel stud to avoid binding

As for brand:

Rays, Mr. Alex, Spoon, Buddy Club, and some American brands.

I am in the market of buying a set myself. I mean, I have to. OEM acorn nuts just won't work.

luka whats up....

I contemplated the mutekis. however I have heard both good & bad also the kyokugens as well. Personally when looking around there are a lot of unknown brands ie group buy that i also thought about BUT when it comes to piece of mind i would rather go with a well known brand. I have opted fot the Mcgard spline drives. Expensive but worht it I hope. If someone wants to steal your rims then there isnt too much you can do. Unless you go with 4 sets of locks (mix and match on all ur rims)...that'll slow em down

all i see is chrome for Mcgard spline drives

i want red damnit1

Luka's silver hatch would look cool with red lug nuts.

For me, I am going black.

But knowing this, that if you go with blue or red or any colour aluminum lug nuts, you will only have 1 lock nut per wheel, unless you buy two sets and have like 16 spare lug nuts. :P

If you want to have a set that comes with a lock, while buying another set of locks, then black colour is your friend.

I thought about red or blue, but I didn't because that colour attracts and it looks ugly as hell once the colour fades.

shlammed 29-Mar-2005 10:21 AM

good point

mdt920 29-Mar-2005 11:46 AM

here is a pic of the black mcgards:

PROS .. there are 2 keys.

1 for the lugs
1 for the locks
also you can purchase another set of locks if you want. which would give you 3 keys....
