I ended up getting some nuts called Gorilla Lock nuts.
Mainly because they are steel, not aluminum, and becuase they were avalible in black. I also bought stock lug nuts powder coated black.
I think it will fit the grey f-sport wheels better than silver nuts.

Here is a link to the ones i bought: They are also avalible in normal metal silver finish.

Not they won't fit.
They have the wrong seat.
Search for the ones with "Mag" seat.

These will fit:

If the aftermarket rims have a cone hole the set you linked to will fit. However it seemed a bit expensive compared to normal mcgard nuts..

Thanks for the info. There are lug nuts out there that cost from $80 to $380! But IMO Mcgrads are the best thing to OEM and the $$ is right too!

Bringing this thread back alive because I need help lol.


I know someone above said "mag seat", can anyone else confirm? Or does it depend on what wheel you get...? I was looking into VIP modular or avant garde. Does the OEM wheels and aftermarket have the same seat or no?
