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.

Recommended by a mech friend of mine but I didn't install it cuz of the price. But well, what you
pay is what you get. Might plan it for another car.

Tpi have 2 types, one is 20 pcs and one is only 4 pcs which is more like a security nut. Just change 4 lugs, 1 at each tyre.

Cant remember which one more expensive, I think is the one with 4s

The 4 pieces nut seems a good thing to install in our ride. Btw, how much does the price of this nuts approximately?

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 TPi lock nut looks more secure.
they stated different pattern for each set.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

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

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

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

RM 40 for security nuts is dirt cheap man.

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.
