Got a noob question...what type of tuner lugs and wheel locks is everyone using for their 18in rims? Looking to get some rims and need advice on what size and brand lugs and locks to get. I'm assumming I can't use the stock ones right? Thanks.

Gorilla or Mcguard wheel locks will do.

Can you let me know which model / size for the lugs and locks are the best for a 2000 TL? thanks.

1. buy new lugs that have tips shaped to match the openings in the new wheels (tapered or domed)
2. make sure the socket for the new lugs will fit the openings in the new wheels
3. you need "12mm X 1.5mm"
4. you have a choice of open- or closed-ended lugs depending on your application (ie, center cover?)

I'm looking to get 18in. Racing Hart C2's which has a wheel cover so I'm thinking of getting the Gorilla lugs like the guy recommended.

Wonder if these will work.

i used muteki open ended. i like them bc theyre tiny and you cant see them but seeing as you have a center cover it doesnt matter about appearence. for 35 bucks shipped though i thought they were a good value

thanks for the advice...did you get wheel locks too or are the lugs enought since they come with a key?

i just work with the lugs. imo theyre enough to keep anyone from stealing them.
