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

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

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.

I really liked the black ones. Do you think they would look good?

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.
