(lug) Nutz...

[Ron in SoCal]

This is drivng me nutz ~

So I got these killer Forgelines. As an afterthought, hmm what do I do about lug nuts? They look to have the conical moounting surface. Compounding the issue, I have metric lugs on the front, SAE on the rear. What to do, open, closed, call the General? Swap out my lugs to match?

Make a few calls...ok so McGards spline drive is the trick set up. Conical, narrow to help reduce scratching. They also are a closed end lug nut w a deep thread bite. Searching the net I come to find out you cant simply buy these in ten packs! You can get three Four packs (12 total) which solves the front/rear different thread probelm. Or you can buy the 20 pack which doubles me up. The biggest issue -- total cost for the four packs front and rear is $180 plus the $8 spline tool! I dig these things, but am I Nutz?

Anyone using these? If not, what did you use? Also, any issue w scratching your nice powdercoated wheels install/removing?
