Default Wheels ordered, need locking lug help.

So I pulled the trigger and ordered some 22" wheels on Monday and to my surprise they are due to this week!

Dumb question is, who's got locking lugs and where did you get them, since google didn't help me (I need black ones)?

Also can I use the stock ones if I end up having to wait for them?

Pics of the wheels will be up as soon as I get them on...

Had locking lugs on wife's minivan (why they put locking lugs on factory wheels on an Odyssey is beyond me). Dealer torqued them on there so tight that when she got a flat, I couldn't get the locking lug off. Not even with an impact wrench. Luckily the local Chevy dealer (only place that was close and open) was able to take care of it.

Perhaps this is a luxury that I have from living in rural WI, but I won't ever stick those things on anything I own.

Yeah I could see that being a pain in the *** on a stock alloy but on a $600 per wheel set, I would rather not get them off then have them easily ripped off.

If they were alum stock wheels (which i believe they are) the road salt from WI causes corrosion. this causes what you expirenced.

I have these on my 22 viper repos, not sure if they can be locked or not or something added to them but they work just fine and look great.

Gorilla Automotive 91147BC Acorn Bulge Seat Black Chrome Lug Nuts (14mm x 1.50" Thread Size)

Got them on Amazon.
