Where is a good place to find locking tuner lugs? I need some that are dark to match gunmetal wheels. What is the size I need for my celica? Thanks:D

Okay I got it! 12x1.5 13/16 hex size. MCGARD is the company I found but there are some on group buy made by Kyokugen that are advertised as "light weight" but they are 15.00 more. I wonder if a light weight lug really makes much of a difference? Oh well:p

Skamikaze bought a set of those Kyokugen lugs. They are very light and very high quality - whether it makes a difference? It's prolly immeasureable. But I'd recommend them anyway.

yup, they come polished, silver, or black. and im guessing black would suit your needs
and i dunno if the other brand does this, but the kyokugen lugs are 7 sided (heptagon) compared to usual hexagonal shapes (6 sides). so you need a special key for the kyokugens. this is for extra security, you can feel safer knowing there's less off a chance someones gonna be pullin off your rims!

They are 55.00 shipped on groupbuy. Is that a good price? I assume they come with one key and it costs 20.00 for an extra. I would think it would be a good idea to have an extra key just in case. So 75.00 is the total and that is a bit high for lugs. What do you think? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot

They're both very reputable brands. $75 does seem a little high for me too, but if you have nice wheels...better safe than sorry.

Okay so I guess the McGuard locking lugs have only one lug per wheel that requires a key and the Kyokugen are all heptagon so they all require a key? I thought the locking lugs had different keys so someone with the same set couldn't get someone else's wheels. :confused:
