Default Tuner Lugs

Well i got some new black rims and i think it would look nice if i got black lug nuts for them. The thing is im not sure which ones i need and what i should be looking to spend on them.

I found some online that i think are pretty much what i need but would like to know if they are the right ones for a 93 civic:

Let me know what thread pattern i need and if this price seems about right.

12 X 1.50MM or 12x1.5. My 96 is 12x1.5. You can get them or these. Shipping may be cheaper, than the ones you posted.

Id go with these because you get an extra set of 4 lugs

Cool man thanks for the links. Ill have an extra set anyways because i have a set of wheel locks that till be using but having 2 extra sets would be nice just in case i loose or mess one up.

I don't mess with eBay much so ill prob just let my buddy get them for me since he has an eBay account and all that.

If you can find some red ones, that would look nice with black rims n red car.

about the eBay lugs...

I don't know about you, but with something as vital as the 16 nuts keeping the wheels from falling off your car, I would go with something name brand.

Who knows, the generic eBay ones could be made of cheap metal and end up cracking or something. It's unlikely, but I really wouldn't feel safe driving around on something you don't know the quality of.

Muteki lug nuts can be had for under $50 shipped on ebay, get some of those. If you can find one for sale that has "make an offer," offer like $44. I found some for sale for ~$50 or make an offer, so I put $44 and it automatically accepted my offer.

Im not really sure. I guess closed ones would look best right?

Since the wheels are going on tomorrow AM with the stock nuts for now ill take some pictures and that can prob help us decide what will look best.

Don't put them on with stock nuts! The seat on the bottom of them is different and you can ruin the wheels.


I have open ended ones and I like them. Many people like the long closed ended ones.
