lug nuts...which ones?
After my truck being down for a few months, and a buddy nit picking my lug nuts...lol
He talked me into getting some "better ones" I like the gorilla "system". Just not sure which ones I need. I think the ones that came with my coys are acorn bulge type... Can I use the acorn type? Or do I have to go with the bulge type? Enlighten me on the types of lugnuts please.

Re: lug nuts...which ones?
Summit racing sells a installation kit that has 16 lugs , 4 locks , and 4 valve stems . I use these for my trucks . The kit is from McGard . They arent cheap lightweight lugs . They are heavy lugs , gauranteed not to rust and I believe it . Look into them . I had Gorilla nuts on my old Pro Stars I had years ago . The chrome chips at the grooves and it rusts . Not pretty .

Re: lug nuts...which ones?
ive gotten mc guard lugs too when ive needed them...they were great no rust and worked well there are several different lugs that depend on the rims you have. I dont have pics of the various types but you should use the ones recommended for your rims

Go with the acorn bulge. It gives a place for your socket or lug wrench to stop before it hits the wheel and marks it up.
