Please explain to me how race lugs will make you faster?

McGard Spline lugs on Stock 08 BBS Wheels?

Here is where I purchased mine. I got the locks with the set, you don't have to but I like the peace of mind. They shipped really fast also.

Black McGard Lug Nuts; 20 piece kit with LOCKS; 12mm x 1.25

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

They don't, and neither do rice lugs. That's why I'm advocating spending $30 instead of $200, and then putting the difference into something that will.

I figured that's what you meant.

So, what $30 lugs do you suggest?

I bought my BBS's used, and they didn't come with anything other than ****ty tuner lugs that don't fit right, I'm in a pretty big hurry to get these off, and some decent lugs on.

Ok, I bought the McGard lugs. Thanks.

What kind?

I have used the McGard lugs from the link above on four different sets of wheels (Rota, BBS, Subaru OEM, with no issues.) They are very high quality.

I do reccomend thinking hard about if you need the locks or not. It it a big pain in the ass if you change wheels alot switching between all the damn adaptors....

I bought the black one's without the lock.

Just any basic open-end, steel 19mm lugs. I have a bunch of them from these guys: MR LUGNUT They cost about $1/each. Also have a bunch of them from H&R, because that's what was available at the shop I was working with at the time.

My preference is definitely for an open-end lug on an extended stud. I don't want water and grit collecting in the lug, and I want to be able to see threads extending beyond the lug. Also want the studs harder than the lugs to prevent cross-threading.

Having a little extra stud allows easy use of a variety of spacers and provies a convenient attachment point for tire warmers.

I see, thanks.
Well, like I said above, I already went ahead and ordered those McGard lugs.

I just hope that there isn't any damage from using the crap lugs that I have on there now.
