McGuard SplineDrive lugs - where to get them?

just wondering if anyone has them. They are made my McGuard and they are the tuner lugs (Spline Drive). Where is a good place online to purchase them? anyone with pics?

I bought mine from www.summitracing.com


Try using www.google.com to search for it. I bought them a long time ago. I bought the regular silver ones. I'm planning to buy a new set in black to match my rims later on.

open ended lug nuts tend to rust the studs. after replacing six of them I got the splinedrives @ summit racing. i wasn't quite happy with the blue caps (not me) so I sold em and bought regular silver.

Actually, my tuner/performance shop owner/friend told me that he doesn't put the spline drive lug nuts on peoples rims anymore because the actual depth of where they seat is much smaller than the gorillas.

Honestly go with the gorillas, they are cheaper and will seat better....

Uh...really? I don't have any problems with the Spline Drive lugs with my rims, they seat quite fine.

you still need to buy locks with the splinedrives or is a key required to take all of them off??

screaminfast....are you talking about the hex socket gorillas or their regular lugs?

im looking at the hex sockets because i hate tearing up the inside of the holes whenever i have to take the wheels off....masking tape over the keys help but still...with the hex sockets it doesnt look like the head would ever touch the wheel unless the lug went buckwild while taking it off

I bought an installation kit which included the lug nuts and locks. There are two separate keys for each.
