> These are a full set of 20 identical locking lug nuts that are externally splined.  They come with a hardened socket key that goes fully over the lug for easy install/removal (no slipping like with the stupid puzzle key type lugs).  The splines on the nuts are in towards the wheel so they barely show which makes these lugs look great on your wheels.  This is a vast improvement in looks over the stupid puzzle shape showing on McGard's version that collects dirt and looks ugly over time.  IMHO, this is the best security for high $$ wheels.  Their chrome has lasted extremely well over 25 years on my Pantera and the set I bought 4 years ago for my 70 Mach1 are of the same quality.  You'll need the "Acorn" tapered-seat type (12mm x 1.5N) p/n 71633N in chrome p/n 71633NBC in black chrome.
