Lug nuts

I seem to have been a victim of unsuccessful attempt of a wheel stealing. And my lugs are stripped, Now I need to find aftermarket lugs since I dont really feel the stockers anymore. SO what are some aftermarket suggestions that fit stock IX BBS wheels. One cheap answer. Middle of the road answer and then the expensive choice you have. Pics would be great to. Color doesnt matter.

Thanks

They can break anything. All the security stuff can slow them down, which worst for thief. I've been seen people using two diff locks on each wheels. I prob will do same if i have an expensive wheels.

You should look for aftermarket alarm with extra stuff or find a good place to park.

Stock wheels need stock nuts. The stokers have a cylindrical shape and a built in washer that I have never seen on an aftermarket nut.

Think the toyota nuts on this page would work

I know I was using Lexus open ended lug nuts, almost identical to stockers except the rounded cap was not on them. You would need 12mmx1.5

What's wrong with the OEM lugs? Will aftermarket ones make your car go faster?
