What do you all think? I'm in the market for open-end lock nuts. I'd like for every nut to have a lock, not just one per wheel. I have gorilla lock nuts now, but I've become curious in other designs, particularly the seven-point nuts.
What are your opinions on the best lock nut? This post has been edited by HectortheRican: Jun 5, 2017 - 12:57 PM -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

My brother uses Muteki locking lug nuts for his $2,500 set of BBS rims, seems to really like them since that's what he keeps buying. I don't have rims anyone wants to steal so I just use standard lug nuts.

Made with 7000-series aluminum and hard-anodized... so they shouldn't strip so easily. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
