@Mach V Dan stocks them in a package deal. 16 spline drive and 4 locks; only place I've seen that. The other way is to buy 4 locks and 20 lucks which seemed stupid and more expensive.

these.

not only is the base stationary so you dont scrape the base of the rim, but they also have a lifetime warranty against rust and etc. i had them on my sti and i also had rays baller ass lugnuts which ended up fading, and then then stripping themselves after being retorqued.

people are posting lug nuts but realistically none of the project kiks, rays, etc can match the mcguards...none have a base that doesn't sping ths not scraping the rim, few have any warranty, and few come with locks.

these were them on my sti..after a year they looked the same.



and here is what some of these JDM brand looked like after a year of abuse and torquing...



now i'm not saying that will happen to you as well, but i had a bad experience.

this is the longer version of the mcgard's you can find online.



notice how its a two piece design, the base doesn't spin as you tq them down. the locking nuts dont have a spinning base however....

you can get them in black, chrome or gold. OR you can get them in black or chrome with any color top...but honestly just black looks nice and clean.
