lugnuts

I asked this question in another thread, but I never got an answer..

Caleb mentioned that the lugnut size for our cars is 12 x 1.5... I want to get some black lugnuts and I found some on ebay, which are the same size, but they say civic, honda, whatever... Just making sure theres no difference as long as its the same size... And yes I know that I need 5 for each wheel instead of 4 for all you jackasses out there haha..

Also, any of you know some good sites to get wheels locks from? im going to need a set of 4, and I need them black.. so far not really any luck on ebay.

theyll work fine paar.. as far as wheel locks.. u cant even see my wheel locks i have now because they are so small compared to lugs.. they are set so deep in my lugnut slots and so far back in my rims.. so the black might not matter on those iono..

They ARE an entire lugnut, there are several types, instead of the socket pattern on the outside some have different sides or some with dimples or little things that stick out to prevent a standard socket from fitting, the key goes over the lock and the socket goes over the key, atleast thats how mine are. My buddies sonoma's locks are different, his are completely round then have a design on the front that the key fits into, the socket onto the key. Ill see if I can find pictures.

EDIT:
Pictures
round kind


Cant find the kind I have, mine came with the car so mabe there GM ones, idk, but im going out to my car in a few days ill get some pictures if you'd like. Also, most wheel locks CANNOT be torqued to the full 100lbs or whatever it is, atleast all 3 sets my buddy has went through said on the packaging. He didnt read the first set and broke one, and lost the key to the second set, hes not exactly the brightest bulb in the box, lol.

Smile Lug Nuts

I just had to replace the lug nuts on my 87 Iroc
with the 16' rims. All the caps had torn and some
had fallen off.

I got them from Stockton wheel in CA for $61.00
to my door. That also included a set of locks for
the set.

They are also powder coated black.
Ask for frank if interested.

Later
