My nuts...three sets of them, in fact.

to be honest, i never thought i had such a fetish for nuts...er, lug nuts. yeah. lug, um, nuts.

anyway, i'm stoked with my latest set of nuts and after going through the other two sets, i feel like chronicling them. so here goes...

1st set - McGard black chrome + wheel locks





2nd set - RAYS duraluminum extended







3rd (and current) - Heat-treated pure titanium extended

and honestly, i don't think it will get better than this. otherwise i'm gonna have to sell my real set of nuts for another set of nuts.









and just throwing my car in there, of course with them nuts



don't mind the gap...the car's kinda leaning on one side.

i like the 2nd set the best! What kind of diffuser is that? It looks awesome, but probably a pain to maintain

All sets look good. But the McGuards are the only true lock lugs that will probably last longer than the others posted.

oh yeah no doubt. they're probably the most durable of the three, but also the heaviest.

by like 16 grams per wheel.

and let's face it...locks are only going to slow a person down, not necessarily deter them. those universal locks nowadays can unlock pretty much anything.

the 2-piece are great. i don't track very often but two things come into mind - stock rotors cracking, and efficiency of the 2-piece. i don't have the proper pads to do them real justice, but it's a markedly improvement over stock rotors for sure.
