ROUSHFAN-1,

The easiest things I have found is to get the P/N for the lugs you need out of the catalog, and try it at Summit Racing.

If it is a no go, you can call, and they can order any of them, just watch the price sometimes the special order stuff is MSRP.

As for which ones, I don't know what your new wheels take fro lugs, maybe the same mag type lug as the L rims in 12 MM ?

I went to a local tire-wheel place and purchased mine. No shipping that way and I knew what I was getting.

OK you got me why 2 sets? I have Gorilla Locks by the way and i really prefer them over the McGuard brand. I hate the way McGuard's key is. I also always buy an extra key from Gorilla so I can keep one in the tool box in the garage so i don't have to fish it out of the back of the truck when retorqueing my lug nuts.

I went with 2 sets because I figured that with 1 set, they could get all the lug's off but 1 and that 1 would be easier to break off that way. However, with 2 sets, they would be harder to break off. Just my .02

The wheels look good Richard!

ROUSHFAN-1,

If the lug nuts you needed were the same style as the L lug nuts, do you recall what the part number for the lock nuts was ?

I need to find time to get by a Tire store and look up the p/n.

The catalog only shows the acorn type and then the collar style MAg lugs, none for the L type.

Thanks

Yeah i thought those were Venoms I have Cragar Tease wheels and they have almost the exact same design. Turns out the Guy that use to run KMC sold his shares and started his own company called Performance Wheel and he has made wheels for Cragar Performance. I got my PC from www.coastaltool.com and can't wait until i get to use it.
