Wheels help

[Jay Bamrah 29]

Hey, I’m either buying new wheels or getting the oem ones refurbished and sprayed gloss black.

The stock wheel nuts+locking wheel nut are silver.

does anyone recommend a not fancy, just low profile locking wheel nut and just normal nuts also? That is black

im looking online and they all look like they stick out of the wheel like spikes or something.

 

thanks for your help:)

For what it's worth, i always considered locking lugnuts more of nuisance then actual thief deterrent. They won't protect against thieves that specialize on expensive aftermarket wheel theft and usually have tooling to unbolt most of available locking lugnuts. And i doubt that many thieves will wish to steal OE wheels. With normal lugnuts one can always borrow from someone (in eg. trackday) "normal" wrench, if needed. No need to bring around adapter for them for emergency or use at tire shops (if eg. need to repair puncture arises). Simpler/quicker to find replacement.

tpi or rays get recommended, none will look good after 6 months though...

They'll go rusty and it'll be a pain in the arse to change wheels as the adaptor they come with will stick on the nuts

Oh so they’re steel just sprayed black vs alloy metal?
