Ya, not so standard ones, cars with 20 inch tyres or with some RM5K set of rims, worth investing on it :biggrin:

But still, such lugs are recommended. Maybe change all 16 lugs to aftermarket ones, + This Wheel Lock Nuts :top:

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.
The common ones in tyre shop, I think Bull Lock or something, around RM40 for 4pcs type lock nut...

It is about that price only. In fact I ask one of my regular shop to get me 2 sets but I want the same key. This is for my wife's SUV because normal lock only 4pcs and she needs to lock the spare also (spare hanging on the back door)

Check the size of your key, what spanner size. If same as your OEM nuts size then you are okay. If different then you need to get the cross one....

Is alu wheel nut need to be re-tightened over time? I heard that the loosened nuts cause knocking sound from the wheel hitting the hub.

If got knocking sound, must be pretty loose already...but not that I heard off before. If got such case then those alu nuts cannot sell already.....

taiko....F1 punya 1 mono lug can buy you a civic dy....

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.

if thieves want to steal what ways also can find one leh... i got saw one special tool before for opening loose nuts, it's a socket but it's threaded inside... one time go in your lug nuts terus gone

saw before 1 myvi, 3 sets heptagon 1 set lock nuts... i service his brakes ar i tell you, kanneh so eat my time
