Tried searching, googling, and personal advice from others and I just wanted to get a confirmation from azine.

I have an 05 TL and I'm getting ready to start putting on my MB Weapons on for the summer time. I am just confused as to what kind of lugnuts I should purchase because I believe I am highly misinformed. I want to go with gold or orange.

I know the lug size is 12x1.5 and has a conical seat. What I am concerned with is will most open ended lug nuts fit or will I need to roam the internets to search for conical ended lug nuts? I read that open ended lug nuts are more prone to rust thus making it difficult to remove.

Any advice? In addition, I am looking at these lugs so let me know if these are okay?
Thanks guys.

I have the black SR48's and after some months, the insides have started rusting...

They fit my wheels which have a very deep and narrow pocket so I would say they'll fit the MB's. If I were to do it again, I'd get closed lugs.

 

BUMP....

I just put type S wheels on
Can someone point me in the right direction for some new lugs?
I never bought lugs for any of my cars and I'm not sure what's good and what's bad. I do know I want a closed end lug...Should I go aftermarket and get grey/charcoal lugs or get some new OEM lugs(mine are getting rusty).
Any comments/help is welcome!
Thanks in advance

 

Mine are starting to get rusty as well. I'm thinking of getting red lugs to go with my Type S wheels. I'm curious where to get them too.

 

i have work rs closed lug nut with lock set for aftermarket rims and its holding up pretty well so far

 

get the oem lug nuts for the s2000cr. theyre black and fit oem wheels. expensive tho. $90 for a set of 20 unless one of our oem vendors can get a better price

 

thanks, ill look into some Works

never noticed them on the S2000 CR
i'll take a look at those as well. thanks


**keep the suggestions coming guys!**

 

I purchase Gorilla "the system" Lug Nuts (All the Lug Nuts are locks) on Amazon, can't beat the price. They are closed end, I don't have any rust coming out like open end lug nuts. After 3 years, the Gorilla have been great, it does not have a big WOW factor (i think the available colors are limited), like some other expensive lug nuts out there, but I feel secure.

 

I was looking at these tonight. GSP type-4 12X1.5

Ad says they come with 16 lugs and 4 lock nuts. Does anyone have experience with them? What you do think?

 

McGard spline drives are awesome. I love mine!
