Purchasing lugs

Is there a place you guys go to when picking up lugs?

eBay?

I know we need 12x1.5 conical lugs so I've just been Googling around.

Any recommendations?

R26's if you like the "shorty's", R40's for the "extended stud look" ... spendy but saweet lugs that'll go well with the Liquid Graphite wheels

Hmmm thanks for the suggestion guys... I've been looking at these:


5zigen ProRacer - $122 - 16 lugs, 4 locks, 1 key


Rays extended - $171 - 20 lugs


Skunk2 forged - $4.80/lug


Muteki Super Tuner closed - $54 - 20 lugs

If I went with a set that didn't include locks, whats the best ones to get? Gorilla?

Also, is it worth it to get 20 locks?

I'm not sure the "extended lug look" will look good on these 19" RJ Legends.

I just bought these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Moteg...Q5fAccessories

Second set of of these Motegi lugs I have had and they are great! For the price you can't beat them. And just as all the other threads out there say if someone wants your rims badly enough they will get them so I don't worry about the locking nuts......if your worried pick of a set of these seperate.

R26's are the standard height version ... agree that they're spendy but the black chrome finish is stellar! However, the Neo-Chrome ones are

I dropped $215 for my Work Luxury Lugs.. I figured 2 gs for the rims might as well spend a few hundred for the lugs n match em up!

Damn dude those rims are sick. If I dropped that much cash on rims, I'd def get a set of "matching" lugs. You should get nicer locks though

Yah those are actually the locks that came with the Work Luxury Lugs.. I was kinda disapointed to. I thought they would be nicer. But they do they job and they say Wrok on them so its all good...hahaha

Revisiting this since I will be ordering a set very soon.

ssmtl2nv = Joe right? You're the guy that emailed me that picture? Are those the Muteki titanium open ended lugs?

I'm still feeling the 5Zigen lugs I posted above... especially since they already come with locks.

Kinda pricey though... especially since they look really similar to the Muteki ones.

I thought with after market wheels we need to use tapered lugs not conical. Correct me if I am wrong cause I am about to order some mutekis.

Well, be careful with the open-ended as you may rust...

When I was shopping for lugs I was considering these as a relatively cheap alternative: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...tegory_Code=L1 the chrome finish should resist scratches better too? ... ended up going rays though.
