What lug/lock nuts do most of you use?

I had some Rays engineering lug nuts on my old car.... I was wondering what brands are there that offer lug nuts like that?

You can do a simple 44mm/75mm/90mm stud conversion and run any Ray's, Work, Project Kics, Project Mu, etc standard lug nut set. The OEM thread pattern would be a M12x1.5 pitch.

If you have a stud conversion, you can use any 12mmx1.5 lug nut that has a cone seat.

Buy these locks from McGard. They only sell them in Europe.

Those are nice. I wonder if they will work for me. The OEM wheel lock adaptor didn't fit the lug hole and scraped my wheel :facepalm:
