Default Question about new wheels?????

Just bought a used set of chrome moto metal 951's from a guy for a real good price but they were w/o any lug nuts. I know that the stock lug nuts probably wont work. Does anybody know a good brand/set that will work (possibly ones that lock so some pos dont steal em off me)???

Thanks!!!
Andy

OCWheelz here on DB can help you. I personally have 2 different locking lugs on each wheel.

Stock Lugs may work until you get the new ones though, I have done that.

stock lugs wont work. you need a conical seat lug nut.

Get the Good Lug nuts , the ones with out the points , they have rounded edges , if you get regular lug nuts on and off a few times and they will rust

I figured such, im no expert, thats why I asked, maybe I can get the lugnuts before the wheels come in and can put em on that same night!!!

Thanks for the tip, I will be sure to look into that, as much as I rotate my tires it would really pi$$ me off if they started to rust after a while.....hopefully OCWheelz can hook me up w/ somethin good!!

Thanks for all the help guys!!!!!!!
