Default what kind of lugnuts do you use? Seriously lol

Well I have HP evos, my rears are starting to chip from me taking them off to often to swap wheels for the track. It seems damn impossible to not touch the the wheels while taking the lugnuts off, especially when only 1 or 2 are left. So seriously what kind do most of you use? I need to try something else, the EVOs just have no lug nut space.

I know these pictures suck, but you will get the idea, and since you have the same rims, these lug nuts will give you a really good idea how they will look,

They are Gorilla Wheel Locks

They look killer, and the locking feature gives a great mind in security...

Enjoy

Another vote for Gorillas. Yes they have a key, but it's a joke. If someone wants the wheels, they will get them. Seeing as every set of Gorillas I've owned can be taken off with the various keys I have.

They have a nice thin profile, as does the lug key. For further piece of mind, you can wrap the lug key once around with electrical tape. That way as long as you're careful you'll have no issues.

Gorilla FTW

McGards are probably the best lugnuts you can buy. Gorillas are nice too, but I have seen them develop some surface rust over years of use on at least one occasion. Never seen a McGard do that. They also have some spline drive type lugs for use in tight clearance wheels - www.mcgard.com
