What lug nuts do you use and why?

[Jeremiah]

If you want to go "higher end" then I suggest titanium lug nuts, light like aluminum and strong as steel.

Gotuning

Personally I dont like the ti-burnt/neo chro/psychedelic colors so if I were to run titanium lugs they would be silver/polished/raw finish.

^Something like this is fine.

NRG makes a good product. Their lugs can't be that bad.

Those look like a volk style lug. Very expensive.

I've got a set of rays lugs in black that I was hoping to use with my wheels, but they are too tall to fit under the center caps. Just another thing to watch out for if you getting wheels with caps

The problem I see with that type is if you have an issue with them (such as corrosion) the key doesn't have much surface area to allow for enough force to be put into the nut to remove it. Not even sure how it would take the usual tightening torque.

Those look like they can strip very easily if torqued the wrong way or too much.

I have 949 aluminum lug nuts in black anodized. Why? They look good with my wheels, they're lightweight, they're inexpensive, and readily available. I change my wheels monthly during autocross season (year 'round in FL.)
I have the big bottle of antiseize with the brush and apply it liberally anytime the studs seem dry, a couple times a year.

I am firm believer in Anti-seize!!!!........& 949 lugs!!!

I just realized that i need 19 mm lug nuts or 17 if they make them. I have 21 mms on right now i think and they are hard to get off.

7075 aluminium looks to be strong enough.

I would love to use a lightweight lugz but I Have McGuard to keep my wheels a little safe from thieves.
