Looking to see if there are any red wheel lugs w/locks that fit 2008 Sti BBS wheels. Anyone know if these work?? The seller says yes but thats a lot of bones if they dont work.

If anything, I may go with Muteki spline lugs but thought locks would be nice to have.

If anyone knows any others that work please list.

I should add that the mcgard spline drive have a very nice build quality - the base is able to rotate separately from the nut so there is no binding at the interface of lug to wheel

ok guys. I received my Rays lugs last night. I haven't had time to put it on due to school midterm. Here are 2 pics of the lugs and I will take more once I put it on.



Notice the wheel lock is 7 sided. I will try to test it with a 12 point socket to see if it can be jam in there like other lock lugs could.

Sorry guys, the pics I took last night withe my cousin's camera didn't turn out so great. I will take some this weekend when there is Sunlight.

As for the lock, is a 7 sided lug with that slot to fit the lock socket on there. "Supposely" this will prevent theft, but I doubt it. I can jam a 12 point socket in there and break it loose with my 1/2" drive rachet. So far, I show no sign of lugs coming loose on its own.

Conclusion: Looks rather than protect if you choose to go this route.

I've been looking for something to swap the acorns out with on my bbs and have found a few. But it keeps falling back on if they will eventually back out. I want to get some higher end ones that are locking type of some sort. I know the gorillas work great b/c they are keyed and have kept another set of rims on a previous car from being stolen.
