go to www.tirerack.com

They have locking lugs there, and they sell some good wheel wax...i havent bought either, but i have heard that they sell some wheel wax that reverses the polarity, so that not so much brake dust acumilates on your shiny rims BTW do you have pics?

wheel wax or car wax, no difference, oh wait a sec, wheel wax cost twice as much for half the amount, but besides that its all doin the same thing. If you want to keep your wheels looking good, just dont let them stay really dirty for too long or the wheels will eventually start to rust, which is no bueno. also, from when i had chrome wheels on my last car, i every so often cleaned the inside of the wheels too, makes it look better when your driving, its a pain but i think its worht it.

Yeah, I did'nt want a real performance tire because I need them to last a while. So I got some with a good treadwear. Not sure of the brand but I know there "avengers". Anyway Iam pleased with em
