Default Wheels almost stolen, where to buy individual muteki lugs?

Two nights ago someone attempted to steal my rezax but couldn't get my locking lugs off. Lost 8 lug nuts, so i evened out to 3 lugs per wheel..

Does anyone know a place to buy individual Muteki SR48 Neochrome lug nuts or atleast sold in sets of 4? Im mad i have to waste money on more lugs now.. was planning on spending it on powder coating this week

Dude that sucks! But i'm glad they didn't get away with your wheels!

You can get them in a set of 4 here:

(Scroll down toward the bottom)

^ But at that price I think it would just be worth it to buy the whole set of 20 instead of 2 sets of 4 and keep the extras just in case.

youre better off getting another set of different branded lugs with locks. this way u can have 2 sets of lugs on your wheels. Yea looks weird but at least it will require 2 locks to remove the wheels. Or better yet get 5 different locks per wheel if u wanna protect em or at least.. lengthen the time it takes to have them stolen...
