Best Lug Nuts

Great info Tom, thanks.
I never knew ALUMINUM lug nuts were manufactured. The soft metal could lead to stripping or rounding off plus corrosion due to dissimilar metals, etc.
Who would have thought this was a good idea? Maybe Bud Wiser after too many beers. LOL

I sell both and I personally like the mcgard lug nuts better just because of there customer service , when a customer miss places there puzzle key to there locking lugs no questions asked they send me one and they are made in the good old USA, verses mexico. the gorilla lug nuts are priced a little cheaper than mcgard . i buy in bulk also. they both hold a wheel on.

 

I got 3 different brands for my car, for a total of 12 unusual lug nuts per car.

There is no way any tire thief is going to even look twice at my car.

 

Unless the thief has a puzzle key lug nut remover socket ? I have one in case the customer has misplaced or lost his or her key. that is smart you installed your locking lugs as close to 6 o'clock from the other locking lug nut. a lot of people do not realize with TPMS sensor's your suppose to place the locking lug opposite of the valve stem to equal out the balance of the tire to composite for the sensor behind the tire valve. back in the day Ford motor company for many years before the sensor days on there aluminum wheels came from the factory with the puzzle key locking lug nut per wheel and a 1/4 ounce wheel weight installed after the tire balance opposite of the locking lug nut to help finish balancing tire out.

 

I have the lightest of them all beside the McGard, which is the heaviest.
Oh, and no one has ever tried to steal my wheels.

 

It’s been a very long time since I posted anything here. Can anyone tell me what brand lugs these are? I’d like to buy a new set. Some idiot used an air gun on them.
