Default Something like this designed for mugen only?

hey, just curious cause im looking at these lug nuts simply because they require that special tool for each lug nut. For me because of theft. Would this be something good to get? or would they look funny on normal wheels (too skinny) or not fit right? TIA

by normal wheels, do you mean stock wheels? First thing to worry about when buying aftermarket lugs is whether or not the lug is the right type for the wheel. OEM wheels require ball type lug nuts w/ rounded mating surfaces and most aftermarket wheels require tapered seat lug nuts (like the mugens you are looking at). Putting the wrong type of lug nut on is dangerous.

what lugs are you using? I have perfectly fine ones right now, its just that they dont have a locking nuts and I want them to match.. I'm going to have to park my car in a not so nice place for a decent amount of time

Id hate to come out to find my car on jack stands..

Yeah i dont think the mugen lugs will catch the eye of any theives, they look like any other black aftermarket lug nut....and i'm pretty sure they don't say Mugen on them either.

do they make lug nuts where they are all (locking) where they all take a special socket or something? Like I live where its ghetto enough for people to steal my other non locking lug nuts for sure...

Put stockies on while it's parked and keep your nice rims inside your house.


I have some cheap lugs that are muteki I think, and all of them require a key.
