Lugs
 
McGard Spline drive lugs or Rays lugs?
Which one is better for the money. My lugs suck and I want some nice looking ones with a good lock system

Jake 6MT 09-22-2008 10:24 PM

nobody has a suggestion? I want extended lugs so I don't scratch my rims up taking them off and putting them on. and both rays and mcgard are rust-proof so I won't have to deal with rusting lugs

Rays look better :2cents:

Ya I love the look of rays but is it worth the extra 65 bucks? If McGards look bad then I don't want them

They don't look bad, they just look like chrome lug nuts.

hmmm.. well what kind of lugs would you recommend? Mine are rusting and I want some that won't get messed up so easily and lock well

Honda/Acura OEM wheels all have a dome-shaped seating area for each wheel nut, whereas almost all aftermarket wheels have a tapered seating area for each wheel nut. As a result, OEM wheels nuts (including lock nuts) have a dome-shaped seat, and aftermarket nuts (including lock nuts) have a tapered seat.

So Honda/Acura OEM wheels must use dome-shaped nuts, and aftermarket wheels tapered nuts. Do not mix up the two, or risk ruining your expensive wheels.

ok sorry i'm so full of questions but don't some company's offer both lug styles? the cone and round shapes?
