Will take photo, buy from Hup Shun Tyres at Sunway.

Not 100% black but something like very dark brown. Will post in awhile.
Security lugs also not to be exact, just different lugs that can't open like normal or without
the key.

Was wondering, if i need to replace tyres if pancit or anything, how am I gonna remove it? :hmmmm2:
*ehem*

still waiting for the picture :driver:

looks like normal lug nuts with heptagon shape nut.. :confused:
Ya no special shape or anything, just a better precaution at least lugs that comes with a removal tool to prevent petty thieves.

If want better ones, like some mentioned, can go for TPi. If not wrong, cost around RM150+ for Chevrolet Cruze. Different cars different price. Just check if available for your car.

yeah or else we are doomed! straight sell the car hahahahahah..btw the TPI lug nuts looks like a serious thing. DANGGGG!
Recommended by a mech friend of mine but I didn't install it cuz of the price. But well, what you
pay is what you get. Might plan it for another car.

Tpi have 2 types, one is 20 pcs and one is only 4 pcs which is more like a security nut. Just change 4 lugs, 1 at each tyre.

Cant remember which one more expensive, I think is the one with 4s

The 4 pieces nut seems a good thing to install in our ride. Btw, how much does the price of this nuts approximately?
Above RM150- RM170 if not mistaken, the 4 lugs one is almost the same price or slightly expensive than 20 lugs ones.

If you interested, I can give you my friend's number, u can call him.

3.24% at best. lol. I’m sure removing your spare tire (either in the boot or on your belly) would net 3.24% faster acceleration as well.
