As the title, where did you get your colored (black/blue) lugs?

Is there a special size for it? Please let me know.
Im getting 17x7.5's and need lugs.

Thanks,
Ken

got my comps from the tirerack today. damn they are nice!!!
perfect fit for my lowered wrx sedan. actually, the chrome lugs
that came with the package look pretty good on this wheel on
a silver car... :D

any one know if the kyokugen lightweight ones fit the comps?
the comps have a larger cone than other wheels, that's why
i need to know.

thanx,
ken

The Kyokugen lugs are too small in diameter to use on the SSRs. I already made that mistake once. The McGard splinedrives are also too small. I'm using the lugs I got with the wheels, and the OEM McGard lock lug, but I'm interested in getting some black lugs too, especially if they are security lugs.

silverscooby- thanx for your feedback. i also heard that the
kyokugen lugs tend to strip if you add any over torque on the
lugs...so im going to stay away from those.

yah, actually, the lugs that tirerack gave me (chrome) looks
pretty good on the wheels (i bout the anthrsite ones for silver wrx), so im thinking about just using these for now. i also purchased the mcgard locks...only thing with those is that it weights about twice of the regular lugs. hope that doesnt
cause any vibrations. will be taking her out in about an hour.
hehehe. :D

I'm using the McGard Splinedrives with no problems - you just need to get the right size.

kgb- cool do you know the part number on the spline drives?

thanx.


btw, the locknuts on my wheels did not cause any vibrations.
