$^#ing locking lug nuts
 

Ok, I am sick of locking lug nuts, specifically those flimsy POS Mazda OEM ones. Yet I am paranoid about losing my wheels... my OEM wheels...

Ok, So the RX-8 uses 21mm lug nuts (right?), anyone have recommendations on some good after market locking lug nuts? Something stronger than those OEM locks. If anyone has any experience or advice I am more than willing to listen. I did some google searches, but am not willing to spend $500+ on super light-weight titanium wastes of money but am scared of $0.05 tin foil lugs.

Try Volks. I'm sure you'll get what you paid for.

I bought a set of McGard spline lock nuts. Haven't used them yet but they seem to be high quality. They have a few different styles available.

I find the ones with the spline on the outside are Great.The nuts that have the Indent of a special pattern on the head of them..throw them away!

oh gawd, I got so sick of them I just took em off! Now my car is going to be lol "4 lug" untill it gets back on the road.

I havent driven it in 5 months, and I kept needing to take the wheels off.

Dude, ditch the locking lugs. Nobody is going to steal OEM wheels, and its not worth the risk if you strip one out.

The spline nuts work good, but be careful. It is easy to break the key. Ask me how I know.

how u know?
