Which Lugs???

[toodt_02]

I just got my C8's but what lugs do I need to get? It's a 99 SI but all I know is that I need "tuner" but don't know what sizes or anything when looking online? I've got wheels and no lugs and tires are com'n in a few days with a car show I'm in on Sunday................help!!! THANKS!!!

You'll probably need 12mm x 1.5 with a 60 degree taper (all tuner lugs are 60 degree taper)

Which show? If I'm lucky, I'll have my C8's a day or two before, but probably not until right after the weekend. I'd like to either see yours or show off mine, or both, depending on what happens at my end.. lol

how are a tuner lug nuts different from regular ones?

I go to Virginia Tech and I'm a member of hte car club, they're hav'n a show this weekend on campus...........what do ya'll think about McGard lugs/locks.........from what I understand they're good and the local tire place or whatever up here said they'd be about $30 for the whole set. Thanks!

They'll work if you can find a set with the specs mentioned above. I've been told through another thread that the taper of the OEM nuts on my 2002 Si isn't exactly correct to work with Rota C8's, so I'm also ordering a set of Zenki forged aluminum nuts. I'll assume that your Si's lug nuts are the same specs, so you might have some searching to do.

Plus, the set of McGard lock nuts should be only 4, not all 16 -- just FYI.

The general definition seems to say that they have a smaller outside diameter than most OEM nuts. That way, they can fit inside the smaller bolt holes that some aftermarket wheels have.

Mcgard's got a lineup of wheel locks that should fit, if you can find them:
