Lug nut suggestions?

I'm about to pull the plug on these for my black 2010 Fit Sport:



Pardon my ignorance but what size lugs should I be looking at?

Also, any suggestions on color/brand? (I'm leaning towards neo chrome for the color)

M12xP1.5 is the size you need. Depends on your budget really as far as lugs go. I would stay away from aluminum ones, they are definitely throw away items due to the heat cycles they go through, though if you are just driving Miss Daisy back and forth, they will suffice. Most people go this route because of costs and looks and they are not really beating on their vehicle with some Cartman authoritie (spelled incorrectly for his pronunciation).

If you want cheap, go Muteki. Lug nuts can get pricey, for example, a friend of mine just dropped $500 on center caps and lug nuts for his car haha

I wasn't in love with the quality of the finish, but they are steel and I imagine it'd take some work to strip them.

Those on eBay don't look like they have a locknut at all. The McGard's are a decent lug and cheap. Well maybe not for some, but compared to the KicsProject's lugs they are less than 1/2 the price. The solid black ones with locks on the site provided by inkster are like $92 +shipping. Not bad at all.

Just get these locks.

Please note, the price is for the 4 locks.

Those do have locks. I think if you want looks as well, the black would go better with the gold rims and being that your car is black or is it that purple color? If purple, then as far as looks go, maybe the NeoChro would look nice.

I agree with 555, I'd stay away from neochrome, I know for my car, I'm just getting Chrome lug nuts, but my wheels have machined inner lips and chrome valve stems...so IDK.

I've had a set of black Rays ones for years. Got them for $150 or so from jdp years ago. Has a key that's pretty cool in design.

Like 555 said... keep away from aluminum lugs as much as possible.
For just a little over $100 you can get hardened steel lugs from RAYS

don't cheap out too... you don't want this to happen...
left is from my KICS (just for comparison) and that thing that split is from a friends Muteki... yep poor guy got stuck with a flat.

i have rays lug nuts that came with my rays wheels. i prefer some muteki open end lug nuts because they fit better. the socket is too thick to fit in the lug holes in the wheels

Those remind me of the magnetic locking center caps on old school SSR wheels. I seen similar locks sold by another company that cost way more.
