whats exactly are these "tuner lugs"? Are they basically the opened ended conical seated ones? Can you get them at ur generic auto parts store with locks? I want locks.

Is there a website that offeres real locks? Like a unique design for every lug they sell? Or at least MOST lug nuts. They rotate the key so it would be extra hard to know what key a person is using on their car?

I have gorilla lugs and lock but i lost the lock and two lug nuts came off my wheel. I need to get them replaced asap and find someone who can take off the existing lug nuts so i can replace them.

ok... u need open ended, short, 17mm tuner lugs. they have to be short to fit under the cap. get locks too, the same style as the lugs. you should be able to get them from any place that sells alotta rims.

I got my "tuner" lugs from JCW Sport compact online:JCW Tuner lug nuts

I got the Gorilla set that came with a very narrow and long key so you don't mess up the rim finish with the lug tool. Also had dual head so I could use 19mm/21mm lug tool to get it off. Can't remember how much I paid for it but it works great.

I belive my 5g Accord uses the 1.5mm bolt so make sure you know what size fits your car.

looks to me that u just need standard tuner lugs. the stock wheels have a lot of clearance around the lug, while aftermarket ones usually need a thin-walled socket adapter to get the lug off. most aftermarket lugs have a 17mm head while stock uses 19mm. btw the lugs u need are 12mmx1.5 pitch
