Just bought a new hatchback, white, 5 spd. manual. I love this thing. My question. Looking for locking lugs. Dealer has them for about $55. Too much, plus they are too long and will stick out. Who makes shorter ones like the stock lug nuts. I like the shorter spline looking ones.
Just an observation here. All the locks I see are cone shape with no flange, the stock nuts are cone shaped with a flange to seat flat against the rim. To me just seems like the cone shaped ones with no flange,when torqueing them down, will just act like a wedge and just crack the aluminum rim, with no flange on the nut to stop this. Any thoughts, Thanks. [headbang]
