Those look good, yea I'm definitely staying away from the aluminum lugs. I'll wait for the better also lol

I had aluminum before these. Discount tire stripped the threading on my oem studs so I got extended ARP studs for spacers.

Here's a closer lock. If you look closely, the top left is the wheel lock. It has a certain pattern. I believe SR48 has like 4 different patterns so if someone buys a set of locks they can't just use the same key to easily remove them.

I had the same issue with aluminum lugs I'll never buy them again. That's really good to know about the locks. How much did you get yours for?

I purchased from www.thelugnutsource.com

A set of 20 lugs costs $72.00 minus shipping and a set of 4 locks for $40.00 minus shipping. Pricey, yes but I can trust this brand. Comes in different colors as well. I've done some research before purchasing these because I plan on tracking the car soon. Plenty good reviews.
